78 rpm format was way better than most people can imagine. If played with real diamond stylus not just steel needles they can last forever. I have some that were in my house as a kid that still lay good, have Django Reinhardt record that was my aunt’s that is so worn you can hardly hear it.

I have old Odeon gramophone from mid 1920s, When I first got it, I used steel pickups and I could see the shellac wear off 😱 I now make my own bamboo pickups, and that leaves no damage, and it even reduces the static sound. Honestly remarkable how 100 year old discs still can sound so perfect when played right... considering most CDs I have are glitchy.

Simply a great piece of art and engineering, I loved it with all my heart! How much I would like to have one of this in my home to play my 78s...

I have also the 111. The FM radio has the earliest prewar FM band. I built a post WWII band to prewar band converter and the FM sounds fantastic.

Impressive, fully operational, nicely restored mechanical marvel in its time. It handles those fragile shellac records fairly well. I had never heard that early version of The More I See You; only the 1966 Chris Montez hit. Thanks for posting.

A true work of mechanical art, the size of the motor is insane, the speed is perfect.

it's always amazing to see what kind of crazy ideas were put forward in the days before the general BSR design became ubiquitous. whoever bought this was lucky- they got premium entertainment throughout the whole war! I can't imagine how expensive this must've been...

An incredible machine unlike what is is being manufactured today

Very nice restoration it has always amazed me to see these machines and operation. Thank you for taking the time to shoot such exceptional video of the machine and operation. I have never seen one with a top loaded radio and controls like this one has I'm guessing this would be considered a fairly early machine. Regardless thank you so much for sharing. I'm always very excited to see these machines being saved especially by people who do nice restoration work:-)

I would like to know how much a machine like must have cost in those days! And today too. The restoration is perfect. Thanks for sharing that video with us all.

Beautiful machine. It's funny. One can look at a seasoned 78 and pretty much figure out what machine it was played on by the wear and damage. It's amazing there's any left!

That machine lived in the NY/NJ area. I know all of those stations on the pushbuttons, except the first one. All of them are talk radio now - that is, the ones still broadcasting.

Nice machine but how rough it is on the recocords.

Pre war 78s were pretty sturdy. Wartime and postwar they became more brittle due to using recycled shellac and fillers.
