Edison Bell phonograph from 1905. Out of every 100 standard phonographs, you can only find one Edison bell... :)
The cylinder is no. 9653 - Albert Benzler
"Chapel in the woods" (Lange).
The cylinder slows down in the middle, I have to grease the mechanics a bit...

  • awesome :)

  • Common misconception. In the US, Edison cylinders typically sell for $3 to $15. For more interesting recordings, the price can go up into the hundreds of dollars. Phonographs themselves vary considerably in price, but you can get a decent outside horn cylinder machine for $500 to $1000.

  • I see I am not blocked from THIS point.

    Many of these old cylinders have scruffy surface noise. Near the end you can tell how fast the cylinder is rotating and even if there was no video, you can visualize the cylinder spinning on the motor by the surface noise.

  • Hello !

    personally, I won't spend more than $10 for a perfect cylinder in original box.

    nice machine, make sure all gears are a bit loose, put a little oil and it should solve your problem
