That's very cool and probably very rare! It's amazing that there are no dents and the artwork on the side is still intact with no scratches. A fascinating little gem.
Yes, the only problem is the phonograph is all original and the spring has lost some of its power. You would have to remove the record to keep rewinding it. So, maybe now over 100 years later I should say it can’t play a 10” record!
The spring motor can be rebuilt. New spring, new grease, timed. The gaskets in the reproducer can be replaced too, along with the tuning springs adjusted to remove the rattling sound.
It’s to easy and very destructive when a spring or other part breaks. IMO as long as it’s original, I’d rather wind it a few times then risk damage. When a spring let’s go on a phonograph with a spring barrel, then it’s contained. When a spring let’s go on an open spring design, then your at a high risk of damaging unobtainable parts of the motor/phonograph, not to mention serious physical injury to anyone close.

The dog didn't like it.
She’s more into classic Broadway tunes!
It was a Minecraft resident who recorded this.
"His Master's Voice" (The dog is reacting to the sound!!!! RCA Victor???
She was raised on poor quality Berliner records, she’s getting old!
The Bing Pygmyphone was sold as a child’s toy gramophone with 7 inch records to go with it
Wow tiny tin sound.😅
I swear I saw this exact same machine on eBay yesterday!!
& the dog?
@ no just the machine
Now THAT'S Hi-Fi!
The dog doesn't seem to be impressed.
Interesting. But what's with the creepy music?
Just a random track I have
I don't care for it either, but it's better than rock.
