Notes |
Orchestrope Commercial (wide)
The coin operated machine is capable of holding 28 records. There is no selection. It is a continuous play of the slack in place, all 56 sides. In those pioneering days, Capehart favored a changer that drags records across the mechanism, to get them to the turntable, and away from it. It has a springwound phonograph but it is wound by an electric motor. The same electric motor drives the changer mechanism. The springwound mechanism was made for the poor electricity supply at that time - to keep the speed straight. |
