There's nothing like collecting items of entertainment. I love old phonograph/78's, but my specialty is radio's and TV's. Every time I look at these pieces I think of people of the day laughing and smiling to them. They're items that evoke the same reaction today.
Great collection of historical musical instruments. I'm currently doing a complete "Frame Off" restoration of a 1950s Rock-Ola Juke Box. Dismantled it down to ever last "nut, bolt, and screw", and totally refurbishing all the parts. This will ultimately be about a three month project. Alton Higgins Hiawassee, GA.
being a collector myself with about 200 machines I am just amazed at the space he got! oh, I'm sorry! not about the machines you ask? well, I have been collecting and repairing/restoring phonographs for 32 years in that time I pretty much have seen it all so I'm not easily impressed that often anymore but it still happens but not with these phono's they are pretty standard, and since I live in Europe pathé machines like the one shown here do pop up from time to time the automatic player that did impress me.
Gotta love these inventions. Things are big enough that you can actually SEE how it works. Mechanical and Electro/mechanical music and sound stuff is a favorite of mine.

Hi Mr. Kurt! It's me who get so fantastic Harmony records (audio) from You ) Now I saw so fantastic thing You have in Your house. Thank You for those Harmony and maybe someday I can say thanks in person. Bixbix81
I would love to hear some records from the late 40 to eqarly sixtys played on the machine. After hearing all the machines I prefer the wood horn to metal
He feels like a patient teacher and some of it can be very dry without a demo. To those of us who are looking at needles and thinking about how clean the records are, we sometimes forget that starting the fire starts with a lesson. I have friends who would enjoy this mini tour in person and I hope you each had a good time. Now, have you since purchased or inherited a 78 player? ;D
I owned one of these, and yes they did sound better and played louder then any other acoustic machine, when I demo'ed it for people they could not believe it wasn't a electronic phonograph.
That "paper cone" is, in every important respect as far as sound goes, a modern speaker. The only difference is a modern speaker is vibrated by a magnet and coil, while this one is vibrated mechanically. In the part you can see, they are identical. You could take a modem speaker and attach it to that transfer "wire" and it would do the exact same thing.
3:51 There was someone else on YT who has an HMV machine with, I believe, an even bigger horn than the that Victor machine. I believe it was made in the early 1930s, when RCA-Victor had moved on to making their top-of-the-line Victrolas with electronic pickups.
Kurt, really enjoyed your Mills Violano. Difficult to find one that plays well. Love the idea of your new Buddy system. I wish you the best. Rick from Duncanville.
10:30 When I was a kid, I had a "Bozo the Clown" pull-string doll that had a cone like that, and a multi-spiral-record built into it, so it played different phrases at random.
The Victrola predates RCA's buyout of the brand, and the factory at Camden, NJ by 2 years. The Victor Talking Machine Co. used the Dog & Gramophone logo under licence from The Gramophone Company Ltd. of England. In 1929, the British company that owned the Dog & Gramophone logo(trademark) should have withdrawn(revoked) Victor's licence to use the trademark when Victor was sold to RCA. The record being played was made by the US parent company, Columbia Graphophone Co. Inc. which had established a British division. The US parent company failed but the British division thrived and became a company in its own right. In 1938 the now-independent Columbia Graphophone Co. Ltd. of England merged with The Gramophone Company to form Electric & Musical Industries Ltd.(EMI). The two brand-names forming the flagship labels of the new company.
I've got some scarce Phyllis Dare records that have not been recorded and posted on TH-cam by anyone else (I'm farely certain). All I need is a gramophone to play them, and I'll hopefully upload them one day.
Olá, boa noite; é incrível a tecnologia antiga, também os moves que era montado os aparelhos, são incrível, muito bem feito com a maior perfeição as montagens dos moves de madeiras bem trabalhada, ainda dou os meus parabéns, pela tecnologia antiga e toda obra feita da mesma perfeição, que ficou para sempre,
A couple of my favorite self-opionated factoids..... 6:30 The Bose Acoustic Wave CD player claims to have a 6.5 foot folded horn (I wonder where they got that idea and why did they add another 6 inches?). Unfortunately the Bose horn is made of plastic, not the wood or metal of the "true" Orthophonics. I noticed that Kurt is playing an electrically recorded Columbia Viva-Tonal record on the Victor Orthophonic Credenza. In my opinion the Viva-Tonal recordings were superior to Victor's VE recordings. Especially the the Paul Whiteman Potato Head records, where Columbia used the best quality of shellac discs for richness and clarity of sound. I treasure the four large Orthophonic Victrolas that I have, I would have more if I had a larger living room. My only Columbia Viva-Tonals are two of the 163 portable which produce an amazing sound.
Damn great collection. I only have 1 gramophone in my gonna be huge in future collection. How much have you spent on gramophones so far. But seriously you have a wonderful collection
@@madbear3512 My inventory typically fluctuates between 40 and 70 thousand at a time. We usually have several thousand Diamond Discs on hand. Same for cylinders.
The song playing on the victor credenza is Of Song I Thee by The Knickerbockers (actually Ben selvins orchestra under a pseudonym) released on Columbia in 1932 And on the Edison triumph is the record March by Edison Millitary March
That is a Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violina. Marvelous machine, though in spite of how it appears, it only plays a single string on each violin. The other strings are just for show.
The Edison Triumph (as with so many cylinder phonographs on TH-cam) is playing too fast. Ed Meeker's spoken introduction should not sound like a Saturday morning cartoon character!
Everything until electrical pickups was lipstick on a pig. Orthophonic is just a lighter reproducer still using a steel needle to chew up your old records, albeit a little less quickly. Okay for early acoustic records, save your electrically recorded discs for the stereo. Do not play Hit of the Weeks on a Victrola. 🐸
Nice general idea, but the constant motion of the handheld camera gives me severe motion sickness. Why can't people just hold the thing steady for a bit, then smoothly move it to change the point of interest and hold it steady again ???
You two are right. Perhaps it would help to know that this wasn't a planned shoot. Rather it was shot spur of the moment using my Samsung Galaxy 7 cellphone, for crying out loud.
I can't watch this. The video is recorded in stereo, which is normally the best way to record sound, but it sounds like the sound is spinning around my head in my headphones. Put it together with the way too giggly woman who needs to put a sock in it, and the voices being drowned out by the music it makes this unwatchable. Shame too.

That tone chamber is much the same a 1970's- 80s W cabinet for producing Bass for a concert sound system.
What a wonderful musical saloon! Thank you for sharing!

I’ve bought records from Kurt many times. Nice guy, very knowledgeable
Gotta love these inventions. Things are big enough that you can actually SEE how it works. Mechanical and Electro/mechanical music and sound stuff is a favorite of mine.
The Victor Orthophonic machine sounds rich and had great fidelity!
The last turntable I had was a Technics. The Victor is still quite amazing for its time.

Had a great time with Kurt and his wonderful collection during last May.
I have an Edison cylinder phonograph with about 50 blue amberol cylinders. It plays fantastically well, but all seem to be brass band marches. Lol.
I bought dozens of records, mostly 78's, from Kurt Nauck back in the minute, but I never knew what he looked like until now.
it is amazing how phonographs from that time worked and how good their sound is.
So much fun!!! Simpler technology.
Hi Mr. Kurt! It's me who get so fantastic Harmony records (audio) from You ) Now I saw so fantastic thing You have in Your house. Thank You for those Harmony and maybe someday I can say thanks in person. Bixbix81
You are always welcome my friend - come on over!
The late and expensive acoustic players were pretty close to the first electric record players.
I love the Credenza sound. Unbelievable for 1925 and hard to understand...An acoustic machine for an electric recording...
I would love to hear some records from the late 40 to eqarly sixtys played on the machine. After hearing all the machines I prefer the wood horn to metal
Love the 1932 Ben Selvin Columbia of “Of Thee I Sing” you played on the Victor Orthophonic.

Spectacular!
Beutiful piece of history
Thanks to Paul and Kurt for a wonderful trip back in time!!! Ben Harris
WOW! Thanks for the tour--fascinating!

4:54 Looks like that reproducer could use a back flange replacement!
When you have an intact reproducer that sounds great, you don't mess with it! You can always replace it if it disintegrates.
@@naucksvintagerecords sounds great but would sound better!! lol. Still your collection is wonderful Kurt!
Hello, superbe collection, very beautiful ,amicalement ,Roger
Very nice collection!!!
So interesting to see the Salesman's sample of the orthophonic horn, that is a First. A big thank you to America's no. 1 record man.

I'm blushing - thank you Bruce. ;-^)
Gorgeous gramophone collection!! Congratulations!!
Thank You! That was GREAT!!!
Amazing. Now I know where the records I bid on came from.
You're actually supposed to close the lid of the victrola record player; it will get rid of the scratching noise the needle makes during playback.
AMAZING HISTORY LESSON....
Very nice video.
Awesome stuff! I wish I owned these. Love them!
Kurt, really enjoyed your Mills Violano. Difficult to find one that plays well. Love the idea of your new Buddy system.

Hey there Rick, it's time you paid us a visit! Surely you drop down to Houston from time to time - we're just off of I-45.
Fantastic collection!
...SENCILLAMENTE HERMOSO....VER ALGO MECÁNICO...DANDO A LUZ EL SONIDO....Y LA VOZ DEL AMO....ESUCHANDOLA...
0:46 I feel like marching now!
Neat, how backwards we have gone as a people.
Kurt ! That's fabulous ! What is that song playing on the Columbia label between 7:00-10:05 on this vid ?
1932 HITS ARCHIVE: Of Thee I Sing - Ben Selvin (Rondoliers, vocal)
Columbia 2598-D, The Knickerbockers (pseudonym for Ben Selvin's Orch. as Ian mentioned): Of Thee I Sing/Who Cares? It's my favorite record!
Magnifiques enregistrements😊

Paul my job was making phonographs, my name is Guido Claerhout, I live in Belgium? I am an expert in repairing those machines?

When Camden, NJ, wasn't a dump.
Damn great collection. I only have 1 gramophone in my gonna be huge in future collection. How much have you spent on gramophones so far. But seriously you have a wonderful collection
How many 78s do you have.
And diamond disc for that matter. I have 38 of em. And about 200 78s albums
@@madbear3512 My inventory typically fluctuates between 40 and 70 thousand at a time. We usually have several thousand Diamond Discs on hand. Same for cylinders.
I have over 100 of those old records . I’m looking for a place to sell. Dose anyone know ? Please let me know.
Me lol
I love this video, folks! Where is this place? I wanna visit it one day...
Spring, Texas. You can contact the owner through his website here: 78rpm.com/. Best wishes!
Thanks! I loved your video. I learned a lot about Phonographs. Cheers. 😊
What were all the songs?
The song playing on the victor credenza is Of Song I Thee by The Knickerbockers (actually Ben selvins orchestra under a pseudonym) released on Columbia in 1932
And on the Edison triumph is the record March by Edison Millitary March
Hmmm, kinda predates Atec's Voice of the Theatre.
Ever try a 12" behin one of them horns?
And , really, Kurt...
Demonstrating a Victor Orthophonic machine with a Columbia record?
That'a a mismatch made in the hot place way down below!
See my comment above for some history on the brands.
;-^) You know I'm a rebel....
14:00 I knew a system with three violins what will pushed to a rotating bows.
That is a Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violina. Marvelous machine, though in spite of how it appears, it only plays a single string on each violin. The other strings are just for show.
7:03 Is there a way I can get this record?
Essa coleção pertenceu ao faraó anacon avô de tutu calmon
The Edison Triumph (as with so many cylinder phonographs on TH-cam) is playing too fast. Ed Meeker's spoken introduction should not sound like a Saturday morning cartoon character!
That is true, Martin! Thanks for the admonition.
May I ask what songs the violano virtuoso was playing in this video?
Polyphon
That was Csardas by Monti
The lady with the glasses is quite attractive. 😀 👓 ❤
👍❤️
That Pathé tho
Whats thevsong at 13:16
Csardas by Monti
Kurt,Do you remember Big Lou from the Wayne Nj show? You gave me 50 bucks for a Black Patti record sleeve and some donuts.? Sorry it was a Black Swan.

Phonograph, that starts at 6:00 looks like Credenza. Is it?
Sorry, it is, I see now. Great thing! I use to have one. You can hear it over 300 yards :)
11:24 I started listening to that because of Tiny Toon Adventures.
Так хотел бы попасть в америку я там бы такие вещи делал

Why can't people just hold the thing steady for a bit,

Why does she laugh all time???

Prachtige muziek dozen en pick up's, maar wat slecht gefilmd!!
