- A demonstration of a circa 1926 Mikiphone portable phonograph, part of the phonograph collection at the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound (library.stanfor.... Built in St. Croix, Switzerland, around 100,000 of these phonographs were produced between 1924-1927.
Techmoan brought me here. Very neat device! Had Sony developed this back in the day, they might have called it the WalkChap.
Yeah, this is the real s...!
Yeah I too wanted to hear how the original sounded like
Techmoan didnt send me here , but the recommendation he generated did :)
Ha Ha yes, brilliant or a deluxe model called the Ambulatory Gent
RIP
after seeing Techmoan's video of the reproduction it astounds me how good the original sounds
Imagine how it sounds irl tho
Yeah this is quite a bit better than the reproduction.
Came from tech moan didnt you?
@@eduardoavila646 sure did.
I too saw Techmoan this morning and this just appeared in my recommend list. :D
Same here. Saw the TM vid and here I am. Gotta love youtube. This is so much better than the replica.
I'd like to hear the reproduction played with an earlier 78.
Now THAT is exactly how to impress the ladies. Great job, Referee.
Is it wierd that I'm 14 and like old music and old things in general
@@Edible_edibility same bro
@@Edible_edibility no?
So neat and impressive for that time period. And it STILL WORKS! 🤯👌
Made to last like most things 100 years ago
Pretty great for almost 100 years ago. Ironically the size of a portable CD player. People need a modern version of this💯Great video!
I go to parties with my protable phonograph in my pocket. And a backpack full of 78's...
Now that's what I call music 1926! Great stuff, and just the setting up of this charming little phonograph is better than the dead experience of CDs and downloads.
Yes. Thank you. This is a Hungarian invention.
Really beautyful thing
Thank you for demonstrating this. I love these.
Holy Wow ~ that's amazing!!!!
Sets up quickly
Outstanding! I need one!
Played this around my Ford EcoSport,now it's a model T.
Far better than the reproduction shown on Techmoan.
Cool!!!
Where can I get a new needle for this?
Did you manage to find one?
Imagine this was made close to 100 years ago....
rubber gaskets in the soundbox are shot
Amazing!!
Гениально! Дедушка CD плеера😊
Fantastic
Very, very cool!
Wow❤ That is resistant to EMP
GREAT
Порадовало! Спасибо! 😀 👍👍👍
Some old guy from the 1900's: "Back in my day we quite literally Waltzed down the street carrying our Mikiphone's listening to our Jazz, instead of this new age 'Hip-Hop' and 'Rap' songs."
We hung an onion to our belts, which was the style at the time.
Strangely enough, rap existed in the 20s, but in a different form.
Before it's assembled it looks like a CD Walkman.
i just bought one of these in awful condition, wish me luck!
the lindstrom co (the distributor not manufacturer) system vadasz mikiphone
there where several versions of this little phono there was the T.S.K. Co pocket phone wich was the first incarnation 2nd the piccophon wich was a 2 color version mainly found in black and red 3rd the mikiphone the most common one and the jabaphone wich was an oval version with 2 inter-changable cases 1 metal 1 leather what ever took one's fancy
what the first name was of mr vadasz i never did find out but the mikiphone class type machines where not his only innovations there where also the bauhaus portables made by parlophone and odeon (also lindstrom) these also carry the name system vadasz these are large round portables with a long half-circular tone-arm
the sound of this mikiphone isn't very good i think the gaskets of the reproducer are shot and need to be replaced normally the sound is surprisingly good loud and clear with quite unexpected bass response for such a little machine. this one resonates very badly

Hi, you seem to know alot about the mikiphone, do you know if the black soundplates are made of bakelite or plastic?
Oh wow, what a crafted jewel, 100 Points only for the idea!!
It was neat but you would had to have 10 or 12 inch discs for it the play
Hello, what i's the record planing? Thanks
The reproducer definitely needs some TLC
Bonjour, où trouver une aiguille pour la lecture ? J ai ce mikiphone mais il me manque l aiguille.
Merci pour votre réponse
Salut,, j'ai déjà eu un mikiphone et je te dira que presque n'importe quel aiguilles ferai, tu pourrai même prendre une aiguille a coudre que tu coupe en deux, ou une attache a couche (coupe et garde le bout affuté). Expérimente ! Si ça ne marche pas, la seule chose que tu risque de faire c'est égratigner ton disque.
How is here because of Techmoan?
great! 12th street rag!
Is that bakelite or vulcanized rubber? The black bits (the resonation chamber), maybe an early plastic?
Seems like early plastic on mine -- softer than bakelite and does not feel like rubber.
2:15 what is the name of that song
Darude Sandstorm
@@Leonartist thank you
Sweet Ginger Green i think is what's being played.
WoW awsome
I have same piece

Do you know where to get a needle for it? Someone just handed one to me and said it didn't work. It took a whole 5 minutes to get it to work, but the needle is missing.
I would be very happy if you handed it to me...at a cost of course...
This is priced at 500 to 1500 dollars
Antique stores, don't know the exact size of the needle but you could always find boxes of phonograph needles laying around more rare I know but antique shops would be the first place to look. I don't know the size of the needles for this and even if you found a box of phonograph needles that they would work. You are very lucky.
Wah.sandar
Hi, what type/size of records eill this phonograph take.
Thank you

For when you want your music to sound like it's being played from a tin-can speaker at the bottom of a well.
Normal gramophones didn't sound all that much better than this.
That why you put a sock in it.
I think it sounds time appropriate.
@@ElectroPotato no they sounded WAAAAY better I should know my father has one
@B3ro1080 well considering there was no plug and had a crank, yeah I'm sure jackass
Incrível!
What is the song on the vinyl ???
sweet ginger green, or what ever song its based on i think
It's not a vinyl, it's a 78 :)
Vinyl is the material that single records and LP's were made of, but these older ones were made of shellaq
Techmoan brought me here.
Nice,
How you get it?
Money, you need money!😂😂😂
A japán másolat, ügyes név mődosítás! :) www.radiomuseum.org/r/mikkyphone_mikky_phone.html
Vadász sound system!
At 00:04 Zip!
Where can we buy these?
eBay
@Joshua Agaid they're shitty though
is this the original or the indian replica ?
Ori
The replica would sound much... much worse ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Techmoan gave you clues to recognize an original from the replica.
@@Dresdentrumpet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ах чтоб мне...
Sooppr.😀😁😁😁😊😎😋😊😉
is this the ancestor to the mp3?
Yes
put a tissue in the plastic box and reupload

Why don't you shove it up your arse.
YE OLDE SK@@L iPOOED
Unless you're parachuting into enemy territory, a suitcase gramophone would be more practical.
Dreadful sounding piece of junk. I note that it took longer to unpack, assemble, and set up then it did to play that crappy song. Truly hipster garbage, from 100 yrs. ago, and more proof that Silence is Golden...
@B3ro1080 not at all, those pocket machines were a novelty in the 1920s, your regular HMV101 portable gramophone sounded very good
