Homemade telegraphone

[@waldovanderwesthuizen4557]

This is amazing. There is magic in the simplicity of this device.

[@Theo0x89]

A skilled engineer who is also a man of culture.

This is truly astonishing. Its about 1 year i wondered if i could build a disk telegraphone only with handmade components, but its too much work. You did a great job building this device. And it works Very Well.

[@selulancie]

It's beautiful!

[@bixanorak]

Excellent! Congratulations, both for the concept, and the superb build quality!

[@gordoncouger9648]

It is a very well-executed build. It sounds just like the first Edison recordings using the same tin horn. If you drove the pre-amplifier with a computer sound card output from some audio processing software, I expect the recording sound quality would be exponentially improved.

I thought telegraphones were reel to reel but I guess they can be disc or wire on cylinder too. These names can be confusing. Pretty slick, I'd like to hear what it sounds like with a direct feed for recording and playback.

I hope KZbin doesn't remove the audio due to copyright infringement. -Any sufficiently advanced satire is indistinguishable from reality

Oh, I'm stealing that line!

A play on Arthur C. Clarke I see!

That's a bit of text I wouldn't have expected on youtube. I didn't expect youtube to allow "bumsen" ;)

Wunderbar!

Eine echt tolle Arbeit. Wir planen gerade in der Radio- und Phonoabteilung unseres Museums eine Sonderausstellung zum Thema "100 Jahre Rundfunk". Wäre es eventuell möglich, dieses Telegraphone als Leihgabe für die Ausstellung zu bekommen? Zu uns kommen viele Schulklassen und mit diesem Telegraphone könnte man den Schülern auf eindrucksvolle Weise vorführen, wie schon vor über 120 Jahren erste Magnettonaufzeichnungen gemacht wurden.

Great Video! I'm a MA student looking to build something similar. Would be great if possible to have a conversation about how you made your wonderful machine? Many thanks

Wow!

[@biodeutscher9258]

Tolles handliches Diktiergerät! Darf man Musikwünsche äußern?

[@Zarkovision]

Abgesehen von den Gesangeskünsten ein sehr gelungenes Gerät mit erstaunlich guter Tonqualität. Wie hast du den Draht so sauber auf die Trommel bekommen, und wie bleibt er dort in Position?

Magnificent

[@X-Roy249]

Great device, especially the noise level is very low compared to a phonograph (cylinder) or gramophone (disc). I merely found a 1900 recording by a telegraphone do you know any further historical recordings with it?

[@xofunkox]

I think I had only found one original recording on the net...

[@ongcootngoai9441]

Congratulations

[@manuelayra901]

Where can I see data of the magnetic head or a drawing of it?

[@xofunkox]

I have not found any documentation for the clay head. Neither has the ebay seller. It can't be a erase head either because it has about 550 ohms DC resistance. Erase heads typically have about 5-10 ohms. www.ebay.de/itm/324198121826?hash=item4b7bb6c162:g:6PAAAOSwmaBe5ivl

[@JKSTEAM]

Thank you so much for your video! I've been researching sources to build a telegraphone myself for a few years and this looks like a great design. Please - post more information about the head. How is it made? Is it a coil with any particular number of turns? Do you have a drawing of one?

[@CassetteMaster]

Beautiful device! Are you using DC bias, AC bias, or direct audio to the head? And how does it sound with direct hookup?

[@TheJd195555]

Love your song. What is the name of the song you recorded?

[@JohnLeaf]

your telegraphone should sound ebtter than at the times

[@Lechoslowianin]

Super

[@creative-gk2rg]

It's novel, a mix of Edison and Memorex.

[@dirkwalther2354]

Entspricht ja fast einem Drahttongerät, nur mit 90 Grad gedrehter Magnetisierung. :)
