Modern Edison Cylinder player

[@RadioParanormaliumPL]

Looks like a perfect tool to digitize cylinder recordings! Great job!

Outstanding. Wish I could purchase one for myself.

Nice to see another person makeing a electric music player to keep the cylinders safe.

What a fabulous invention. It sounds superb! Hint: The earliest Four Minute Blue Amberol Cylinders play the best of all. (1912 just into 1914 when the fire destroyed the Cylinder Record Factory.) The Plaster was colored dark blue and does not warp the playing surface. The tops are always flat across.

Outstanding! Beautiful and impressive job, Sir. Extremely successful machine you've created. I'm truly impressed.

[@ryandavis2580]

You got SUCH a great sound out of the record. WOW!!

Hello Howard, I just found your youtube video, today! You did a great job on your personal Edison Cylinder Player. Can you make your machine build available for the public domain ? If so, I would like a copy of your schematics and parts list. I have many old cylinders but no way to play them. It would be great to bring them to life, again! If your plans aren't available maybe you have some suggestions on how to build one of these machines. Best Regards, Gary

Sie verkaufen Phonographen-Walzen?

[@SamHarrisonMusic]

Sounds incredible!

[@039dalekmoore2007]

I have a few edison drums i planned to do the same some day to make a player for them so yours is great for ideas when i get around to it .

[@MrMikeTheMan89]

I'd like to see a hi-fi version of this... Cool idea!

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

yes, Harry Lauder, he would at many times irritate the recording engineers by taking his banter right to the edge of the cylinder on disc records he, in a lot of cases, got flagged that time was up! and he would speed up his banter or finish with a sudden ''goodbye'' or at rare times keep on talking as we walked away (or was dragged away) from therecording horn!

[@emiliopolanco8587]

Ooooooh! Thomas Edison would've love it!

[@lizichell2]

An amazing reproduction of acoustically recorded sound

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Very nicely done.

[@Idelia412]

[@chriswitney6]

Bloody wonderful !!!!!!

[@Confederalist]

You should make one of these for Techmoan!

[@andyflores2558]

This is amazing!

[@jcarra72]

this is great. where you interested in building another? I'd love to talk more via email if so.

[@matthewrichards88]

Very impressive!!

[@vinyladict8264]

AWESOME!!!!

[@MarkMphonoman]

way to go. love it.and it sounds fantastic. Thomas Edison would have hired you....and then steal your idea. LOL I want one. LOL Mark

In the alternate time.line Mr. Burton would ne a deainer for Garrard or Sony

[@brentfisher902]

Is the linear tracking self-adjusting for 2 and 4 minute cylinders? If so it could in the future play vaporware high-definition 4 minute cylinders that would have twice the apparent grooves per inch and ran at 320 RPM.

[@joshuah.9529]

I wish something like this was sold with some reproduction wax cylinders so you could put a small player on your desk and enjoy old music with a modern and easy set up.

[@ally7055]

Amazing. Do you do audio reproduction services? I've a few cylinders at home I'd love to see played on your machine...

[@Edwin48100]

That is really neat! Can you play 2 minute cylinders as well?

[@rocketaroo]

👏

[@SuperFredAZ]

Very nice job. Much better playback than the "horn" style machines from yesteryear.

[@AlbertBenajam-ww1db]

It possible to imagine an ALTERNATE TIME.LINE where cylindar format might continued after 1930 as a niche "Hi-Fi" format. Cylindars had severàl inherent technical advantages over the 78 discs. #1 The "hill & dale" format had better dynamics as loud groves dont cut into adjacent. #2 Tracking is done by power, not gruve.. #3 Weight of tone arm doesn't exist as pick up supported. #4 Grove.velocity constant start to end. №5 Tracking is linier. I think cylander drives could have made small lunch bod portables, or table radios They could have filled the dame nich as 45s. Machines like this with auto cuing would be the modern form for dingles in an alternate time.line. ________ Interesting that in our Time Line the CD solves $2-5.
