The child using this would have to be very patient. I have never seen these before. I wonder how long these were available, 1955 to when. Thanks for using a phonograph so we could hear what it was. Pumpkins were nice too. Great video!
@@stevesstuff1450 Haha! Yeah, 78 rpm would be brutal to the hands, wrists, and arms. Although a cardboard hand-crank record player would be cool if it had a spring inside, so one wouldn't have to keep cranking the record and that would be a cool homage to the antique versions (some models of which I have). :)
Very beautiful first time seeing one of that. Looks like a nice one for the beginning of a mission impossible episode. You are very lucky to find those good stuff.
I once had a British version, reading 'Gramophone' rather than 'Phonograph' but with the same style of artwork; I clearly remember this from more than sixty years ago, together with the slogans ('It's fun! It's so easy to do!') My record was 'The Night Before Christmas' - possibly a different version from the one listed on the back of this example, since the speaker's voice was certainly English. As far as I remember, I had no stylus and simply pushed the record round with a finger; I do not remember having had so much difficulty in maintaining a reasonable speed, although there was always an awkward lurch when I changed from forefinger to middle finger or vice versa. The first side ended at 'the prancing and pawing of each little hoof'.
Very cool ! I was thinking that when it was new, everything was much flatter and was probably smoother making it easier to spin. Maybe you could try cutting a piece of wax paper the size of the record to put in between to make it slip. Still a very cool piece of history.
I had an indestructible gramophone, as a toddler in the mid 1960s, which played a collection of thick and well nigh unbreakable coloured plastic 7" singles, containing a variety of nursery rhymes, sung by a lady in in a gone the way of things cut glass 1950s English accent.
This is a cool product. I thought it was also funny the record used for scale is Music Machine. I used to listen to that record a lot as a kid. Good memories.
Absolutely amazing. I think it would be a showpiece. Put it between two pieces of glass to protect the artwork. Incidentally, what are you going to do top the pumpkin which ate too much candy?
I was in Babies Hospital in Newark, Nj in 1955 (I was three) my parents gave my one of these. I have told many people over the years about it, but no one believed me. Here is the proof!
11:05 The auto-translated subtitles take the idea of misheard lyrics (technically "Mondegreens") to a whole new level when you manually play side two -- "oh my God so you can save them when I'm through, awesome it is for the pie when your monsters do, you mean ability, [long stretch of no translation], to smoke."
1955. That thing is as old as I am, or older, depending on the time of year. I was born a Scorpio, and my (now deceased) wife was born a Sagitarious (in 1961).
A funky way to revive records---A radio station I used to work at played a Teddy Ruxpin toy-maybe they should try this one-on both their AM and FM!!!Its an interesting "TT" to use where there is no power.
I saw something similar about 1960,, part of a school science set from Coca Cola. It came with a Little Golden Record which worked nicely. So you can drill a hole in the appropriate spot and play it. Maybe not Quadraphonic...
It kind of reminds me of one of the Beatles Christmas Flexi discs (although it used the card I believe as opposed to a stylus!). A small cardboard washer could help with the balance a little; maybe it's an 80rpm speed (as it seemed better when you had the pitch tone increased). Just some thoughts! (Also, as I stated in another comment - I wonder if it would be classed as a book or a record? Might be the best places to look for more!).
you can do the same with the corner of a bank note or the corner of a post it at least the banks notes here are stiff enough to do that, not sure about us dollars
Wow dude I hate him impressed it wit was better when you played it on the real phonograph obviously but wow I wouldn't play it on the little paper thing little paper thing just because you made the image of the record good but that is amazing I've never seen one of those in my life thank you very much I am impressed
A similar thing was made for ✝️🛐 Sunday School gifts. It was slightly smaller but of similar design where the player part was folded over the "turntable" but there was a little clamp where you could but in a regular needle after 10 plays. To turn the record you held the player up and turned a crank at back. This was attached to a oddly shaped central part at front that matched similar on record. To play you turned crank with Left and held player on air on Right. Artwork had mostly picture of Jesus with children, but a few with David as Shepard or Moses or church pictures with people going in. Each came with a record, but they were changeable. Titles included THE LORDS PRAYER. 10 COMMANDMENTS on 3 disks , Beatudes on 2, 23 PDALM,and short Bible Stories. A few had songs of 'Jesus Loves Me' sort. Construction included a rubber band and plastic hinge, also were correlated box material with color pictures on surface.

That flat phonograph, record, and wooden handheld stylus are amazing! That's a product we need to see revived. :)
Just so long as you don't have to hand-crank it at >78rpm...!! 😀

Yes, our $$$$ first pressings certainly need a fresh touch.

Indeed
I have never seen anything like this!!! So amazing. WOW!! Keep the videos coming!!
Now this is a truly MANUAL TT!
Perfect on your Crosley 😍
Thanks for sharing. What a ingenious audio product.

Mint condition, gotta have some collectible value. This is really cool.
by GOLLY I love these videos. I love the idea of replacing the stylus with something more robust. Keep up the quality videos and positive vibes!
Thank you!

I also didn't know that such a record player existed.

Audiophiles will love this😆🙈
Oh ya!

Use to find these in the hundreds around the midwest...

Cool!
Sounded like a voice from the exorcist.. scary toy
"Your Mother Plays Records In Hell!" Hahaha!
Would be cool to make new ones like this with modern subjects.
I saw something just like this recently from Japan. It was new.

Nice. As a flat earther i am enjoying this

Play it on your Technics next! Peace.
C is for Carpel Tunnel syndrome from trying to spin this at 78 rpm...
I'm waiting for new turntable reviews. :(

Neet for a child
Sounds like something from the Exorcist!
Hahahahahaah
Play some korn on it
lol
