Mechanical Music Extravaganza, Spring 2000
Page 3

Always good for some interesting machines and accessories, Charlie Hummel [Back left] had a few unusual items.

All self-contained in this suitcase is a French version of the Columbia "Q" cylinder machine, complete with horn and cylinders.

One of the neat artifacts rescued from the Victor/RCA buildings were the fire alarm boxes.
This one has been fully restored.

One of my favorite machines is the Amberola 75, the most affordable, best sounding, 4-minute cylinder player.
It is more often found in oak, rather than the pictured mahogany.
