  • That is awesome! what are these? 78 rpms or the edison cylander type?

  • This is a flat disc machine made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. It is a Victor V or Victor the Fifth and was the second best open horn machine for sale by Victor at $60.00 in 1910 - The Top one, the Victor VI sold for a whopping $100.00 in 1910. They are both quite rare today and usually sell (based upon condition) for a kings randsome. Robert

  • It was a very long time ago - back in the 1970's, and piece-by-piece. Total was about 700 bucks, maybe not even that much.

  • Owning that Victor V must be a dream for you! I wish I was lucky enough to own one! Great video, too!

  • Thanks very much! It was always my dream to have a Victor Five. It's been here for many years and was gathered in parts. The bottom was from dealer, but it came with a paper mache horn. Then, I found an original oak horn hanging from a dealer's ceiling and begged him to sell it to me and he did. It was delaminating, so we just put it all back together. I think my reproducer could use a teak or two -- some of my favorite sopranos crack when they hit the high notes...

  • First recording of the Victor V (Victor the 5th) Talking Machine (phonograph) playing accoustic record of Al Jolson singing "Home In Pasadena".

  • GREAT SONG SUNG BY THE BEST !

  • I can buy a Victor Talking Machine from a friend of mine, but it`s a replica. Does anyone know how much (€) they cost? Or how much is it worth?

    Sorry for my bad English

  • This sounds SO MUCH BETTER, brighter and livelier than the several different CD transfers I have of the same recording, but I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this. I love collecting vintage recordings in whatever form, but they never sound better than on an original machine. Thanks for posting this.

  • it's great that you can keep this in working order, and it sounds as clear as it does, was the motor electric?

  • They wouldn't believe Pasadena today! Great player and record......

  • Great tune I liked the Temperance 7 version

    not on here yet

  • That's great! Just listened to this song played by organist Jim Riggs and saw your post that you were going to upload the Al Jolson version. What a treat!! Thanks for sharing this! What a great setup you have!

  • That was amazing...one question though,

    was your bird whistling back to the record when the guy was whistling?
