  • @ORTIZ304 : You need a saphire ball stylus and a grammophone reproducer that you place just like in the clip. If your disc is the saphire type that is. Groeten uit Belgie.

  • In the grooves of both cylinder and disc records there are bumps either on the side or on the bottom of the groove. All cylinder records have the bumps on the bottom of the groove. All records are played almost exactly the same way on an acustic phonograph like on this one. The bumps in the record grooves cause a needle or stylus to move. The needle or stylus is connected to a thin membrane called a diaphram. As the needle moves it causes the diamphram to viberate making sound waves again.

  • very very very curious! how does it works?

  • @marcvie9 Yes, when equipped with the correct sapphire and wired for vertical modulation.

  • @videorestore2 Will the 80 RPM disc work on a 78 RMP turntable?

  • Beautiful little machine and marvelous sound! Love the variety and shapes of the tone arms of these early years!

  • @videorestore2 Wow! Thanks for the info!

  • @Caimingchang : there is even more. 8,16, 76, 84, 85, 90 and 120 rpm. Probably even more.

  • @videorestore2 Wow! I didn't even know these exist! I only knew of 33, 45, 78! Thanks for the info!

  • so how do they play music like that? i mean todays technology i get, cd players have lazers. but this is a needle and a disc with dent lines.

  • This would be from the early 1920's. The indication "à saphir" on the edge of the label would say that it's a late vertical record made as Pathé was starting to make lateral records in 1920 but had to keep catering for the people with vertical phonographs for a year or two.
