Columbia Graphophone This is a Columbia BN disc Graphophone which I purchased at an outdoor flea market. It dates from about 1906 and is in lovely shape for its age. It required new springs and a new spindle shaft to perform as well as it did when it was new. It is regularly used on my show.
Edison Phonograph This is an Edison standard D Phonograph from about 1911. This is a great machine for my show because it plays both 2 and 4 minute cylinders. I bought it at an antique shop, along with a number of great records. It has what is known as the "cygnet" horn which was a nice feature on later Edison machines.
