A simple Edison repair

You might have seen me mention that my Edison cylinder player failed while making the video featuring it. Today I had a go at fixing the problem.

At the very last moment I decided to turn on the camera and narrate the proceedings. Here’s the (very) simple video I shot.

I feel it’s likely that this video would be insufficient for the general YouTube audience. I’m also tired with all the whining and complaining on YouTube at the moment so for the time-being this video will only be available here on Patreon.

I intend to start working on something else tomorrow. Take care, thanks for your invaluable support, welcome to all the new Patrons and I hope everyone has a great week.

Yes it'll be a lathe cut disc.

Did that note say that the CD can be played on a record player?? Have they actually engraved a song onto a CD that can be played by a record player or is that weird terminology?

I’m trying to picture the design of the player - I’m imagining something hung around the neck and carried in the middle of the chest with the CylinderMan logo prominently displayed…perhaps a yellow version too for sports.

It just occurred to me that, had Sony built cylinder phonographs, they would have stormed the market with the CylinderMan, so that all the cool kids would have one on their way to the dance hall.
