Nice machine, but running a tad slow & those thumping springs need a regreasing. The record stopped a little short of being finished. The automatic brake needs to be readjusted. At first I thought the spring was bad with the slow down in the music, but when I heard that little squeal & click I knew it was the brake-my Victrola X had the same problem. They are tricky to adjust, too! Gave me a heck of a time til I got it right-all trial & error.
I haven't heard this one in a while. I'm sure this rendition was a huge seller and could be heard on phonographs from coast to coast in the early '20s.
