The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here is a device which I have not seen in any reference book on gramophone accessories. A good example of something which did what few people wanted done, it claimed to be the first of it's kind on the market, and it was probably the last. Has anyone seen, or better still, got one?

Interesting device. I don't think the inventor became rich selling this.

Thanks for sharing

Brought to you by the guy who invented the flamethrower... At least he thought of something useful to invent...

Well, that is among the dumbest things I've ever seen. I'll take the gold plated one!!

The Lincoln Record Changer used vacuum to operate and also hold the record in place:

Almost the same principle but definitely more complicated

This record lifter apparently evolved into the first toilet plunger using the left over stock from the factory...
