Home-made Orthophonic plays Everybody Loves My Girl

Everybody Loves My Girl by Ted Weems & His Orchestra, Vocal by Parker Gibbs. Victor 21173-B 11/25/1927 Played on my home-made Orthophonic Victrola. Mechanics are all parts bought on eBay, cabinet/horn home made by me based on measurements from an ebay auction and various diagrams/photos from the web. Let me know what you think, sounds pretty good to me but I've never heard an Orthophonic in person.

Think you did a great job building this yourself. Sound is very good (loud and clear)

Going to look for an old one now?

Actually, I picked up a 1925 Victor Orthophonic Credenza in January! I need to get it inside the house & make some videos.

What a great job!!

It's more better sound then my home made phonograph!!

[hotsickle]

that's neat ! sounds better than the real thing !

Such ingenuity! With your skill who needs a Credenza? The Ted Weems sounds wonderful, too--this is the optimal era for so many Victor orchestras. Such nice detail while playing! How many plays per Tungs-Tone?

actually i think your machine sounds better than the now aged orthophonic machines. you must have done everything right in making sure the sound chamber is air-tight since the bass response is extremely good.

Congratulations, and you are going to restore it?
