  • caN THE PLASTIC ONES RUN ON IT TOO?

  • @rondahl18 If you are referring to LP's or 45 RPM records, the answer is NO, you would destroy these records by playing them on this early Talking Machine. These early machines were designed to play 78RPM records that were made from a combination of Shellac and powdered slate, and designed to play with a Steel Needle, which you were told to change after every record. The invention of the LP and 45 records was still some 30+ years away ! Hope this answers your question.

  • This is one of my favorites that I do not have on shellac. Thank You for posting it! I have featured you on a Not My Victrola spot on True Blue Sam. Keep up the good work!

  • Thanks David, It is an honor to have this fantastic early Al Jolson classic as your weekend special on "True Blue Sam". I will do my best to put other great early shellac 78rpms on youtube that you can enjoy. Have you checked out my latest "Nat M. Wills" entry? Very bizarre but extremely entertaining.

    I bought my first portable mechanical gramophone and have feeling it plays better that electric record players from 50's or 60's. What do you think about it?
