Edison Fireside Phonograph with Cygnet Horn and Model O reproducer playing "Smiles"

Edison Fireside Model A playing 4 minute Royal Purple Cylinder #29020 "Smiles" sung by Marie Rappolo. I have another Fireside phonograph that needs complete restoration. Comment below if you would like to see that process in a video.

What an impressive looking device!

I bet all the old music stuff sounds better in real life then just listening on a phone

[@masterbadger9408]

Nope! It might just sound actually worse in person! I own one so you can trust me.

[@Simone-ikon]

A process video would be really cool in my opinion

Having one of these was a luxury that cost a lot to build up your collection. Edison got the price of a cylinder--one track on a CD today--down to 35 cents at a time when a common work man earned from $1.75 to $2.50 per day.

Did it sound clearer back in the day?

[@victrolalover7795]

Yes.

[@DixiesNewSong]

This particular machine or record is not the best example but yes they generally sound a bit better

Would be good to make a Restoration Video, Might help some people if they are beginners or don't know how to restore that model
