I was cataloging my oldest Edison Diamond Discs and wax cylinders and discovered that my earliest recording is an comic ragtime track from June of 1909. And I was thrilled to find all of my cylinders available on YouTube which I promptly ripped to MP3 for my digital library.

I'll share the novelty track - Here is the Edison Indestructible Cylinder of Bob Roberts – "Heinie Waltzed Round On His Hickory Limb," Indestructible Record #1076 from June of 1909.

Enjoy!

It looks like it's in perfect condition, Innerspace. How long have you had it?

Thanks! I've had it for about 15 years or so, just before I began exhaustively cataloging and documenting all of my musical activities. I take care of my rarer materials.

wow


I sure wish to be able to play a record this old one day

Does it work on a turntable though?
Didn't the technique of making records change considerably between the 1900s and whenever vinyl records became the norm?
Do you have a special kind of turntable for it?

Unusually pristine-looking old record and wax cylinders, ISB. I am inspired to read a bit about Edison Diamond Discs now. Thanks for sharing the novelty song - I got a kick out of that!

My apologies for any confusion - the song I showcased is one of the pictured Edison Blue Amberol Cylinders, not the Diamond Disc. Mine is one of the earliest cylinders issued, as most were not circulated until between 1912 and 1929.

I haven't a wax cylinder player in my home, but I have been shopping around for a restored machine.

Presently, the oldest talking machine I posses is a handsome Philco 47-1227 floor model phonograph & radio manufactured in 1947.

It has excellent sensitivity and selectivity, owing to the use of double IF stages plus, for the FM band, a high gain pentode RF amplifier. The set uses a 12" electrodynamic
speaker mounted to the front-panel that tilts out to reveal the internal phonograph.

The model was introduced with an initial sales price of $239.50 in 1947.

My late father and I found it on the side of the road on trash day. We carefully transported it home and found that the tubes were 100% functional and it fired right up when we plugged it in!

If I do end up with a wax cylinder talking machine, I promise to share photos!

I'm so pleased that the community enjoys my little sonic excursions!
