However, I would advise against Crosley's entry level tables due to the absurd tracking force on those cartridges. Some say otherwise, but I had a Numark PT with a similar tonearm/cartridge that has indeed done some damage to a few records. They should have marketed those for 7in scratch DJs as it has adequate tracking force for scratching.

[@keevansixx4185]

honestly, I would love to see these remade with modern precision materials (high quality) at an extremely affordable price. when I say modern, i'm talking about making the exact same style of analogue player ( or one that doesn't look like a battery powered overblown hair flatiron) but including such modern developments like diamond needles, a more robust and pre dampened sound box, and efficient spring torque that contains the tension longer for extended plays, and the same portability. As a novelty, it's sublime...as a practical analogue back up when the lights go out...it's genius. Too bad the India reproduction is such absolute rubbish....wish another swiss or german company would reproduce these for a modern audience.

[@BitchyBoxxy]

Keevan Sixx a CNC shop could make one really well. Just source your own needles.

[@andrewmackay2001]

As a vinyl record has a non linear audio spectrum where there is less bass than treble and as the volume of these things was heavily dependant on a high tracking weight playing vinyl would sound extremelly scratchy and very quiet.

[@medes5597]

This comment is amazing. It fails to understand how massively flawed the design is (it relies massively on a hell of a lot of tracking force), it demands that its "extremely affordable" (ie cheap enough that he can buy it) whilst demanding modern features that couldn't be delivered at that price point and completely fails to realise that mechanical players of vinyl records are uncommon for a reason and just assumes it'll work with no understanding of either how records or how mechanical players work ...

Cool episode. Always enjoy the old stuff you manage to find!!!

[@The1920sDandy]

Mikiphones were designed at a time (1924) when electric recordings were just about to appear so they're not really designed to play more than acoustic recordings (so anything made later will make the motor and soundbox struggle playing it). It's extremely tricky to make them work properly (but if you're patient at mechanics you can) but if you do it they'll play acoustic or very early electric recordings with no flutter. Frequency range will be very limited but the sound will be acceptable considering its capacities (a mica diaphragm - and a tiny plastic resonator). Early models do not have painted letters and have the same orientation as the replica you have but will have signs of wear of course. It's definitely not an audiophile item even at the time but a marvel of engineering indeed.

[@bluegirlgraphics]

My brother used to have this nice travel record player about the size of an old typewriter case. It held maybe 1 record inside and was a wind up. I used to like playing around with it. He also had this neat mini gramophone from our trip to Edison's winter house in Florida. They sold them in the gift shop and it came with 3 mini wax records. You'd either wind it up or put a battery in (not sure which now) and it would play like an old wind up. Was really cool!

When my daughter was a toddler, she had a walker with all kinds of toys on it.

I did the same thing you did with this device, and opened the toy to stuff a bunch of tissues in it. She never noticed, and it cut the sound to about 30% of what it was.

Thanks to you Techmoan , I saw things I never knew existed....greetings from Serbia !

[@tarstakars]

So I was told a couple of decades ago when I started collecting vintage records that there was a fundamental difference between records designed for gramophones and Records to be played on electronic devices. when artificial Sapphire needles rolled around and Diamond needles they change how the records were made so you can play gramaphone records on an electronic reproducer but not vice versa if your record is designed to be used on an electronic phonograph the grooves are different and you can damage the record if you play it on a steel needle gramophone. so if your record was made in the 40s and 50s it's probably not designed for a gramophone. anyway that's what I was told that I've been following that rule ever since

Though if I think it through, it is not so surprising, there were many hungarian inventors and engineers in the past,putting together some, well let's just say "neat" little things for our beloved modern world-(both good and bad stuff as well....anyway-) Before seeing this video, I would've never expected,or presumed that a hungarian would've made an early version of a type of record player, I think this is pretty cool.
