I'll never understand why Indestructible cylinders got such a bad reputation; good, crisp recording. Beautiful machine in beautiful condition. Thank you for sharing!
A much smoother governor control than the similarily priced Edison Gem, and the Columbia machine is much more attractive. Your machine sounded very nice!
I've never seen a Columbia Q Graphophone with a badly bent mandrel shaft as this one has. And apparently it still plays! The cylinder mandrel should be almost perfectly level (of course accounting for the taper). This mandrel hangs down on the right side suggesting that the mandrel shaft has been bent. Amazing that it plays!
