while talking to a tech who worked on these back in the 30's, he and and other techs he knew in the area of springfield mo. referred to this radio as the "fishmouth".

[@ninjabluewings]

This must have been the latest technology back in those days, I would think these units are now pretty rare too, if only people still sang like this, what a voice

[@GramophonicReevolution]

That's a beauty. 😎👍

[@pcallas66]

They certainly don't make them like that anymore. Some of it was way ahead of its time. Thank you for sharing. Is the cartridge electronic? To me it sounds like it. I like the motor trip mechanism at the end of a record too. You have a treasure for sure.

[@robsemail]

To some extent they do still make them this way. I mean, if you have the money (now as then, such quality is not cheap), you can buy a fine turntable built on a wooden plinth that will last another century, only requiring an occasional stylus or cartridge change, or perhaps a belt replacement or other minor maintenance. This old phonograph is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, but finely-crafted record players in its tradition are still very much available.

5:16 That's the tell-tale sign of a horseshoe magnet moving coil cartridge. The needle causes the bar with the coil on it to vibrate (like with an acoustic reproducer). The magnetic field causes a voltage to be generated in the coil of the frequency being produced by the record needle which is then amplified by a tube/valve amplifying circuit.

That is beautiful. Did you do the restoration?

[@robertwalker3506]

Very nice

[@spencerbergquist781]

Beautiful machine...Beautiful music, Who is this anyone, please ???

[@JohnWilliams-fg7fo]

Was that the last true Victor radio? After that chassis they were RCA I’ve seen the radio chassis and it like nothing else including a large Nipper embossed in the metal

[@thomaswalters4927]

Is that Russ Columbo on the record? (Great Song). How did you get radio to play that old broadcast?

[@solinus7131]

Song? BTW that is a really nice radio-phonograph!

[@19king14]

I have one of these. The arm seems to be very heavy.

[@deepguidance]

its mechanic sound or electric sound?

[@19king14]

@@deepguidance electric

The transition to electronic amplification began in the higher price range.
