MYSTERY MUSIC MONDAY #9 (with actual record player)

[@billparrish4385]

Hi Silas, record players like this played 3 types of vinyl: The large albums with mult-tracks and a small hole in the middle, played at 33 rpm; the ones like you have there, small disc with large hole, at 45 rpm; and a mid-sized disc with a small hole, at 78 rpm. The speed knob or switch on the player should be marked with these numbers. After hearing that first one change speeds on its own toward the end, it sounds like your player has some sort of glitch. Since this was before today's advanced electronics, it should be easy to take it apart and see the speed selector's parts inside. You may have a busted spring or detents/notches worn down, preventing it staying at the correct speed. Of course, it may be the electric motor, or a problem with things like the rheostat (like a light dimmer switch, but for the speeds), for which you'd need a multi-meter and some electrical knowledge. But it could very well be just an easily-spotted mechanical problem.

Ah - sounds like your record player has got a mind of its own. I think it’s possessed!

[@steveowens2505]

Girls had pajama parties with record players like that. Listening to Beatles, washing hair, putting in curlers, and talking bout boys. I dare you to recreate all that. That’s a classical piece btw

[@garylarue3899]

The rpm speed is not correct. The record player needs to be on a flat level surface as well set on 45rpm. Big hit back in the day.

[@kevinfriel6182]

Must be Groundhog Day. 😁

[@neurophile]

The original classical work of "Lover's Concerto" was "Minuet" by John Sebastian Bach (yes it sounds like "Angels We Have Heard On High (Gloria in excelsis Deo)") !

[@YuuSung]

don't forget to crack some eggs on your birthday

[@sean---the-other-one]

I’m think that player is cooked. The speed is fluctuating. You need a better player.

[@ericanderson8886]

welp, wrong setting again, but Lover's Concerto was a big hit. It's based on a classical piece of music.

[@Macdelaven]

Early 60s. "Lover's Concerto" was based on classical song "Minuet in G major" written in the 1700s. It is a common practice song for new piano players.

[@ericwilliams1031]

Totally the wrong speed lol. Have to use 45rpm.

[@KJ-4321]

I love mystery music Mondays! It sounded slow again,lol ! Do you have it set to “45?” 😅

[@sean---the-other-one]

Trolling us? 😂😂😂

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Gloria in Excelcius Deo or something like that. Yes we used to sing it in church as a hymn around Christmas time. That descending line is definitely very similar.

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

The speed is off again

[@dawnpatrol700]

These Crosleys and Victrolas are famous for 1 year of the correct speed, and then slowing down or speeding up permanently. At the end, it finally started to play at 45 Theyre not designed to last. It must be past its 1 year shelf life lol

[@kimkovaly2393]

Happy Monday. I look forward to Mystery Music Mondays. Love ur channel ❤❤❤❤

[@Yaktahbay]

Playing records at the wrong speed is something we used to do after hearing the same song for the hundredth time or so. It's customary for your first few listens to be at the correct speed...

[@michelangelobasque2157]

Good video again Silas! Just check if the pitch button is at 0

[@jaquestraw1]

😄 SILAS!! 45RPM bro!

[@showmoke]

Silas - wrong speed setting again. You’ve got the speed setting on your record deck set at 33.3 rpm and it should be set at 45rpm.

[@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts]

Dude! Again?

[@bradsavory6490]

Silas you're awesome

[@sherryhall16]

There you go. Does your record player have a short?

[@davidchapman2213]

LOL. This is just another slap in the face of how old I am. I never thought of operating a record player as a difficult task. Imagine if it were a box of 8-track tapes! Maybe a rotary phone. lol. I’m just giving you a hard time. Too damn cute. I’m sure I get dogged out when I tell people I don’t understand how Twitter works. Never could get it. Oops, I mean X, right? Sign of the times. Hey, that’s a great Prince song….

[@JOYOFTHEFATHER1351]

Change the speed of the record 😂

[@sherryhall16]

Too slow. Is it set at 45rpm. This is a peppy song I really enjoy

[@billreilly7693]

DID You get the adapter?

[@user-rh6xo2ry9q]

Oh boy

[@commentatron]

Try this rule of thumb: if your humor costs you more than 1% of your subscribers, dial it back a wee bit. 😄

[@doplinger1]

You woulda thought after last weeks fiasco…

[@SWTSU]

What a fantastic song!!!! Scratches and all good times!!! Thanks for this you made my Sunday!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🍸 PS I think you might want to find a touch better turn table just saying!!!

[@arthurdrake3274]

Wow.❤

[@charlie44266]

You are still playing it too slow. The record you have was recorded to be played at 45 rpm. Find the switch to get it to play at 45 rpm. The speed was varying while you played it, as if the platter drive wheel was slipping and the player needs repair or replacement to play properly. It shouldn't sound like that!!!

[@dougww1ectebow]

Dude! AGAin?!?!?!

[@denniszimmerman1279]

DooooooD! It's a 45

[@artwallace3773]

you are classic!

[@dt1064]

Get a decent record player. Take that one back to Goodwill.

[@jimcomvideos]

Still having speed problems. It started slow, then half way through, it sped up. Sounded horrible, but omg, I remember hearing this on the radio. The Toys? Who knew? Not me anyway. Lol.

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

Silas I just subscribed to your channel after watching you a few times. I love your reactions and have seen a couple of these mystery Mondays and I dig the concept of the record player as I am 70 years old and listened to rock since I was a young boy in the 50's. I remember sitting for hours and spinning the 45's on a player just like that. I can't wait to see what the next mystery Monday brings. B U T.....SILAS P L E A S E SET THE PLAYER SPEED TO 45 AND THEN THE SOUND WON'T DRAG. ALSO TURN THE PLAYER ON THEN SET THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD. I ❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOU SILAS BUT PLEASE LIGHTEN UP😂😂😂😂😂.

[@davidhatton8880]

speed is still off

[@79BlackRose]

Jeez, how can you not hear that it is playing too slow (33 rpm)? Singles should be played at 45 rpm. Come on, please!!!

[@reality1958]

Silas these are 45 rpm records. Make sure it’s set to 45 rpm

[@JacobBailey]

Silas- I don’t know about speeds and stuff, but I don’t love this music at any speed😂. Maybe just show the 45 and then play the song via the computer? More Sabbath! Maybe Faith No More?! Love the channel! Rock on!

[@3333121]

Like the computer version better

[@DaleGiesige]

Did you play a 45 RPM single at 33-1/3 rpm? 😂

[@reality1958]

Silas…do not rest the stylus on the record and then turn it on. Bad for the stylus. Turn the platter on and then gently lower the stylus onto the record.

[@isadona59]

I'm expecting your first reaction to Dire Straits...Al chemy live performance is one of the best lives.....SULTANS OF SWING......( By de way...I remember the son that you check today.....jajajaja)

[@robertstephenson7864]

AAAAAAhhhhhhhaaaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaaa. I'm gonna start calling you 33 1/3 Bailey. The format is fun. The record player is garbage. Seriously Dude, inside your player, there is a drive belt, it looks like a rubber band. That needs replaced and the pulleys cleaned.

[@ericjohnson4825]

That confused look on your face is because something is still up with the speed. Too slow. Either you're playing the record at 33.3 RPM instead of 45 RPM or there's something up with the record player.

[@user-fl4rc9oz7s]

Victrola is junk, got one, threw in trash...

[@marlew6629]

Jezaz. The sound is horrible.

[@reality1958]

Silas…do not rest the stylus on the record and then turn it on. Bad for the stylus. Turn the platter on and then gently lower the stylus onto the record.
