I played all my Sousa marches today. :D (accompanied by a few German beers, sorry, but that's all I had).

I thought someone would say something about a Blue Amberol on a black Gem, but nobody has questioned the two. It has 2&4 minute gearing and plays like gangbusters. It will play a four minute cylinder with one full winding. Jerry

Well, actually, I spent the early part of my day in pre-phonograph territory (1876).....

but I made up for it later, by uploading some musical Americana on YouTube.... :)

I am born on 4th of July and spent the day with my family, friends and colleagues. This time, Mr. Phonograph wasn't involved.

I did notice the 4 minute cylinder Jerry, but I could not tell by the photo if the 2-4 minute gearing was added. Also, I knew you were pretty sharp and there must be a reason for the combination.
