Amazing machine - seeing it play on YouTube years ago inspired me to buy my own, I hunted forever to get a royal purple cylinder of that tarantella piece that played on YouTube. This is now one of my favorite cylinders of all time! I finally found one! I wonder why he is selling it? It’s a beautiful Opera with a very cool history.

"My retirement hobby is restoring technical antiques, in particular old tube radios, gramophones, phonographs and TVs. At age of 76 not collecting anything anymore, in order to be able to continue my hobby, and to create the necessary space I need to sell my finished restoration works."
