  • what are the speed settings on the 101? Does it only play 78s? or will it play 33 1/3s and 45s ?

  • JustinCox, Ah! here's the one. These acoustic machines don't have any speed settings per-say. There's just a screw or lever that acts on the governor to control the speed. It it set by means of a strobe disc or simply counting revolutions. The speed can probably be varied from the mid 50's to about 100 or so I'd guess. You'd ruin a 45 or 33 1/3 with the heavy reproducer and steel needle anyway. Regards, J.

  • kspm01, Thank you. There's much more coming very soon! Yes there were many many bands recording under even more different pseudonyms back in the twenties. I can be quite a task to figure out who's who sometimes. Regards, J.

  • Using pseudonyms was a common practise in those days. I suppose it was one of those pure "studio recording bands" - which quite often were just as good as the "real" ones. Looking forward to more of your posts, keep up the great work!

  • P.S. I'll be posting more from them soon. Watch for them. :)

  • ks..., Believe it or not there never was a Carl Fenton, he and his orch. were fictitious. Brunswick's musical director Walter G. "Gus" Haenschen (1889--1980) dreamt him up. That didn't stop them from recording some really hot sides for Brunswick! ;) Regards, J.

  • Never heard of this band, but it's fantastic!
