I absolutely love your collection. I am a novice building my own collection at the moment. I really enjoyed watching this video.

Great collection Brian, sure would like too meet you some time. I have sold over 200 machines over the years.

[@Idelia412]

I can understand your collecting interest having collected since I was 12 years old. At one time, I had approximately 150 phonograhs, mostly horn players of all the different makers. As you know the hobby has gotten soft since 2008. I started liquidating back in 2006 keeping only about 13 of my favorite machines. Fortunately sold the bulk back then when prices were at their peak. It has been a livelong hobby, but for me it was time to pass most of them on. It is unfortunate that young people have little interest in them which has caused a flood of machines to come on the market during these last few years. Nice Idelia machine, I had one years back but let it go with no regrets. Very few collectors in Arizona.

Acoustical amplification was invented in the 1920s? Try again. ELECTRONIC amplification was introduced in the 1920s.

[@nacho66662000]

you made a mistake when you said that acoustical ampliifcation came in the mid 20s. It had always been acoustical till that point . In 1925 electical amplification was introduced . This is what you should have said.

Interessant

[@guidoclaerhout6620]

Brian, my job was making phonographs, my name is Guido Claerhout, I live in Belgium? I am an expert in repairing those machines?

Will a phonograph or gramophone damage a record?

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

@@james-flynn1938 I do not agree with stern needle management of only one p side you are fine with cylinder phono's check your Saphire under magnification it should be totally round if there's a flat spot replace it. and for the record being brittle is a total fabrication the pre-1950s records were made with steel needle playing in mind the reason some are worn to the core is bad management of needle changing. on phono shows, I always bring my 1904 Gramophone & Typewriter model 4 front mound with a 1906 Caruso singing donna e mobile after 25 years the record is still the same even when I play it electrically! if you don't abuse your needles in using them over and over then you don't abuse your record! wax cylinders of the early brown type do dull down when played too much they get softer and softer what I do is digitize and archive them I pretty much never play the brown wax cylinders they wear too fast. bamboo needles have their own set of problems they wear fast! it's a natural material so you never know p needle how it's going to wear the angle of the tip is about 90 degrees wider than the groove if the needle due to its particular nature wears down too fast it can break groove walls destroying your record 99 out of 100 times this does not happen but! it does happen! same with cactus needles if a needle has an invisible flaw it can break! and your reproducer bounces over the record with a hard-wood chisel!!!

[@topgun57572000]

which one is better phonograph or gramophone?

[@james-flynn1938]

JEFF O they are the same thing it is up to you wax. cylinders were produced from the 1880s to 1929 shellac records from the 1890s to 1950s the word phonograph is a general term for cylinder and disc players

[@phonotical]

They are NOT the same thing by far, cylinders play differently than disks and so you cannot compare either

[@friendlysky7674]

They are the same thing

[@masazain]

Good luck,,, all fine , collection , , Jeddah,Saudi Arabia

[@ChristinahKitheka-yk6tg]

Let it go on.

[@RC-wm7cw]

How much money does this man have?!?!?!

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

More than me

[@Oldtimemusiclover]

Wish I had a collection like that :D

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

well if brian one day is ready to sell the collection for $25000,- he should give me a mail that's a super fair price if I say so myself I think the overall value is more like $150.000,- I have that amount as calamity money in case of fire, flooding and medicine the insures don't want to pay for if I would need that so $25000,- just makes a little dent in that adding 200+ machines to my already 200+ machines collection eh... that's a problem to solve if I ever cross that bridge! would I keep everything? well, the problem is duplicates I don't want 2 of a thing there's also the chance of everyday items of the past in case of phonographs we are talking about certain Edison and victor, HMV, Columbia, and pathé machines that are simply still that numerous that nearly every collector has one well, I'm not every collector so those can go to auction to people who really appreciate them and I can buy the weird and rare machines. define weird and rare I hear you ask! to start rare does not mean expensive there are simply not many of them in the world and sometimes rare means the phonograph collectors at large don't know about them I recently bought an eastern European portable of the brand Jacuftic I have been collecting photographs of eBay and auctions for 20 odd years I have saved many photos over 20 years I have an archive of 13000 pictures of phonographic devices this Jacuftic machine wasn't in it! so, one in 20 years that's rare but it only cost me the equivalent of $10,- it's a totally unknown machine to the collector's world. what about weird? weird doesn't mean it looks strange but it can be so with me it's about the life expectancy of the machine yes! they made crappy audio devices in days of old I have a phonograph made by a dutch record and gramophone dealer Willem Sprengers I bought it from the original owners the machine was a giveaway when you bought 50 records and it was crap! it failed after 2 years! since the guaranty was 1 year you were royally F-ED! I tried to repair it but failed! I have 32 years of experience so it wasn't me failing but the technology! that's weird! and I love it!!! since those machines likely ended up on the rubbish tip in no time and that makes it rare as well! other weird are machines that should do one thing but don't! Klingsor springs to mind a machine with a sither/autoharp string frame in front of the horn the strings should amplify the multiple frequencies of the record... it doesn't! Cliftophone Mr. Clifton with this device pretty much invented the PA speaker this machine does work! but it's rather weird with a horizontal reproducer and this cylindrical plug in the middle of the horn. nice to think of a buy that probably will never happen but if brian is willing so am I!

[@jakerlegend1266]

good this guy has gramophones but no wonder people cant find any online or buy any, this guys hoarding them all!

[@Tojazzer]

This interviewer is HORRIBLE. Her opening statement is way off the truth. And then she says "Talking machines, as they are sometimes called" HAHA. That is the name of them.
