1933 Odeon Gramophone in Action

If shellac dust is found in the vicinity of the phonograph each time it's used, then - just keep it as a curio and not use it at all. Maybe my uncle's phonograph did that with the shellac records.

What kind of motor is this?

[kevinstlaurent]

@SOPM2007 I have no idea, sorry.

[SOPM2007]

@kevinstlaurent Sorry I've not read the description. The point was I thought about the driving principle, either by a little generator that is turned by the crank or a spring like in a clockwork mechanism. The latter I couldn't really believe - but now ;-)

@SOPM2007, it's a clockwork or spring mechanism.

The grooves on the record are shaped like the sound waves, causing the needle to vibrate along with what is on the original recording when it passes over them. The needle's vibrations are then transferred to the adjacent "speaker."

Very nice gramophone! But I thing that the motor needs cleaning and oiling because it works loudly.

Thanks for sharing, 5/5

Amazing! It is fun to show this to my 7yr old daughter who only knows about DVD audio and Blue-ray discs :-)
