Gramophone playing "When Summer is Gone" 

the things that can be done without electricity are incredible ! Mechanical technology is pretty facinating indeed

@@hervederinel262 true u do not need electricity

I think the ones with the brass horns are fakes.

Sorry. I still think it's a thing of beauty if it is or if it isn't

@@splatlunch8812 irdk

There is gears that make the turntable spin. And vibration of the needle Carry's the sound up to the horn

@@wallk03 Respectfully, this doesn’t involve electricity. It’s all mechanical.

@@wallk03 no electricity

Well for the years 1998 it was not so strange but if he was impressed by the gramophone and the phonograph for them it was such a strange and divine thing

I think records back then were made by electricity.

That's cool. It's like a whole different song.

1.75👌🏾

Word.

Yup

played it in 0.5x to get sensation of old music in endgame captain america dancing scene lol

Yes, I was thining the same, you realize that maybe people who recorder It pasased away even before you were born and u can listen what they left, It is just moving

1900s called...and they've put you on hold

With the static and everything xD

I e EB

we've got Facebook and smart toilets and we still have old hold music... I love it

100% true, all you hear is the dead is singing.

@@azia5051 😢

Mario Jr yep it is true, and one day it will happens to us too.

@@azia5051 yes yes, Best regards from Brazil Mário

That's the life bro, it's always running from generation to generation

Must've felt nice!

Is it wierd for a teen to like old stuff?

@@Edible_edibility Of course not ^^

@@countersphere2924 facts

What a beautiful music right on the screen.

I was literally thinking of bioshock or don't starve when I heard this song

ITS NOT A SPEAKER. ITS A HORN.

1. it's a horn 2. it's the same principle as one of your electric speakers.

@@gunnarthefeisty how is it the same principle? Its not.

@@bronzefanpage8256 ??? Diaphragm vibrates just like a speaker cone does, amplifying the music

Maybe not the same as any other record because there were wax cylinders, brass cylinders, then came these shellac 78s, then vinyl in the 50s.

Sadly it's a reproduction, an old one but its horrible for the records 🙁

​@gabrielchavez4751 I don't think so, it's just been polished

@@ericschulze5641 it's easy to tell an original from a replica. Look at the sharp bend where the arm connects to the horn. On an original machine this area was almost always curved.

Old gramophone is the best to satisfy my urge .

Saaaaaame!

There's plenty on ebay

Me too

I want one with 8 metalic legs that chase you if you don't wind it in time.

I have 2 one from the 1930s and one modern remake so I could see the difference

Greetings, Unfortunately, many and old Victrola or phonograph ended up in the cellar when the main springs that powered them broke. I have replaced many a such spring in these wonderful old machines.

i agree

You're definitely not alone in that!

Thank you so much. That's really cool. Maybe I make a few more videos?

"1 week ago" Well frick...looks like he's seen "those" other comments (NGL there only needs to be one thread LOL)

@@FireyDeath4 I'll put you down for a maybe then?

I guess...

@@benldavis30 Yes, make more videos! :)

Ugh, people just cannot appreciate music.

Phonty have a correct elbow.

I was waiting for someone else to notice this. The giveaway, besides the phony brass horn, was the undersized tonearm, and the closeup- up view showing the reproducer off kilter from the 90 degrees it needs from the record surface.. Also, people need to get away from playing records not suited for the machine. The machine pretends to be a 1906-1912 model, and the record is electrically recorded and clearly from the 1940s. It is badly blasting the pretend exibition reproducer which was not made to play electrically recorded material. It was also playing a little too fast....

@@jeeprod1 Rod: I've been a collector for 60 years. It's hard to tell without seeing the machine close up, but it does seem to be an original "late" model gramophone - maybe 1925-1927 - because it has a goose neck tone arm. Notice the wear on the tone arm. The horn is a modern reproduction, although Victor in the U.S. made nickle plated brass horns. Modern collectors often have the the nickle plating removed so as to have a polished brass horn. The song "When summer Is Gone" is one of my favorites. This arrangement,however, stinks ! The recording is from 1927. The record would sound so much better if an Orthophonic reproducer had been fitted to the machine. I have a Victor Model V made in 1910 - the largest of Victors outside horn machines. I've fitted it with an HMV "Orthophonic" reproducer - made in 1930 - especially to play electrically recorded records. You can't believe the quality or volume of sound reproduction. Unbelievable !! And all without electricity.

O.K. - I'm half wrong. It's a modern reproduction for sure.

May be a reproduction but a pretty good one!

@Simon McCreath I'd wager the it sounds bad because this machine is not a real gramophone, it's a cheap Indian replica likely made after the 1980s. People like to call these machines: 'crapophones'. Reasons the record could sound bad on this machine: -Cheap replica reproducer -inconsistent/bad tracking weight -Bad needle -Overall cheap, poor quality machine Of course the record may legitimately be worn as it is nearly 100 years old. Since this record is from 1929 it is likely an 'old style' 78 made of harder shellac with plenty of abrasive material. Thus it would be completely safe to play on a genuine, properly functioning Victor phonograph which is what the cheap crapophone is trying to look like. This is because the abrasives in the record will wear down the needle instead of the record's grooves. As long as the needle is replaced every time the record is played there should be no issue playing it on an old windup gramophone/phonograph long-term The reason you may be thinking real external horn gramophones wear records is because shellac 78s made from 1930 onward tended to be softer shellac with less abrasive material. Meant for newer gramophones with lighter tone arms. So it is generally unwise to play these newer shellac 78s on old external-horn gramophones like the Victor III. It will wear them faster. But record from the time period of the machines (1906 - 1922 for the Vic III) are certainly safe. However you shouldn't play any record on the cheap crapophones as the poor quality of the machine could contribute to excessive wear.

Ah that's sad news, let me know if you get it going. 😊

@@benldavis30 I will!

At least this has a proper soundbox based on the camera angle on 2:02

Winding handle looks like it has Garrard style wooden end, so I would guess there is a Garrard motor in there. Horn and horn elbow are clearly modern reproductions though

Your house is a living horror game if you heard one, at the dead of night, despite the fact you don’t have one

Perhaps @@mrantiques1912 🥲

🤔

@@solinus7131 Yeah. Its chase theme should be "Motivational Speaker" by Cut Chemist.

yes its gud it is oxygen :)

its phonty!!11!!111!!!!1

I'm alive and well, I'm on Instagram @benldavis Thanks for caring ❤️

@@benldavis30 wow

That's good

Some acoustic phonographs can play 33s and 45s just use fibre needles or toothpicks so you don't ruin the record.

more like marzia

It will play itself in the middle of the night xD

StArT rEmEmBeRiNg WhAt YoU hEaR!!

Wait, it can’t be!

thats phonty

Greetings, It isn't a genuine antique. It is a cheap reproduction made in India or Pakistan. It is worthless.

phonty!!11!!111!

I was thinking the exact same

ok

You also was playing the record MUCH too fast.
