I have one of these I found in a cleanout I was doing. I hate to toss it out and would rather send it to someone that could use the parts; it is mostly disassembled.

Mr. Crumb aged into his face and personality very well, based on this 12 year old clip. Didn’t recognize him!

And yet common opinion has it that Stravinsky is not the best conductor of his compositions.

In addition to the recordings being completely analog, the players don't even use any electricity! An article in the New York Times from October 18, 2015 brought me here.

One of my Grandfather`s favourite poems. He had a slightly different version though. I will always remember the last line... "You can stick your Christmas pudding up your ar*e!" That has stayed with me for well over 50 years. Still miss you Gramps.

I have my grandfather’s VV-210 which is in pretty rough shape. I’m hoping to be able to restore it. Where do you recommend learning to do so and purchasing proper replacement parts for it?

The video is overexposed and that makes it Hard to watch. Can you please adjust your camera so the burn out White goes into a more normal tonal range.

The wood color difference is mostly from UV exposure. I run a sawmill and you might be surprised how quickly wood, especially oak and poplar, start to darken after you open the log and it gets exposed to sunlight. I have some 100 year old lumber from a disassembled old barn and the oak boards have a very beautiful, unique dark hue that cannot be replicated. People ask how to recreate that finish with new lumber but it's just not possible. I'm sure some of your darkness is due to old shellac, but I'd say enjoy your aged oak! That's a very valuable color that literally takes a century to develop. Take care ✌️

I just ended up with one of these and am super excited to get it back in to perfect working order! Everything seems to be fine other than the turntable dragging on the brake lever. The turntable is frozen to it's spindle, so I wanted to check around before attempting anything. Glad to have found your video and will be following along. Thanks for the video! 👍

@notsomething7561 Жыл бұрын

I enjoyed that a lot. I’ve seen people in the modern day use cylinder phonographs to record, and the sound has NEVER been as high quality as the example shown here. Of course, none of the people I've seen have such an experienced repairman and specialist working with them.

@AcousticallyYours Жыл бұрын

Even though this is a crap-o-phone, I think that to the uninitiated, this might set a bad precedent. What could be worse than this becoming a new fad, where a few genuine pieces get burned by copycats.

@tiga4180 Жыл бұрын

It would be a tragedy if a genuine machine was destroyed. Though the incinerated crappophone may have had a lot of rubbish parts, it looked like it had a decent double spring motor, well worth keeping. If I owned such a machine, I'd post it on YT from time to time, as a black museum object & a warning of 'what not to buy'

@AcousticallyYours Жыл бұрын

@@tiga4180 I too wonder, if those crap-o-phones might be made into a decent machine by upgraded springs and governors if only to make it playable to a child or novice who just is learning. I hate seeing anything destroyed…”one mans’ trash is another mans’ treasure” as they say, or as least serviceable trash.

@tiga4180 Жыл бұрын

@@AcousticallyYours Often, the motors are from genuine machines, the other parts being either crudely made & 'antiqued' or spare parts derive from other machines, making the crappophone a crude hybrid. I have two issues re playing them: 1) Tracking may be very poor. 2) Reproducer mechanism could be stiff & uncompliant, restricting the transfer of groove vibrations to the diaphragm. Either can cause excessive record wear. True, they could be used for learning, just don't play valuable records on them! Would love one as a 'black museum' object, but needless to say, find selling them as genuine despicable!

@AcousticallyYours Жыл бұрын

@@tiga4180 I agree with you completely! I know that for the most part they are cobbled together from inferior machines and parts that are crudely manufactured. Sometimes….rarely, you might find an authentic part, but that is the exception. You can usually spot them (a proverbial) mile away
