Shawn,

Great video, as always. A question: what happens when the Automatic Reginaphone is referred to as a "Tabletop Hexaphone?" Do the Phonograph Police issue an arrest warrant?

Raphael

Only for you, Raphael! Collectors today, all of us, refer to phonographs in ways that were never used when they were originally sold. Take for instance, the Drip-pan Gem, a term I have not found in any period literature to define this early Gem.

While I try to be accurate, I am sure I call parts in my videos by names that were never used in the day, especially by those who built and sold these things.

So no police coming North to your door (or mine)! Just keep it fun!

Shawn

Great video, as usual - thanks for sharing

James.

Thanks All!! Lots more to come.

Shawn
