The first Gramophone

If you have not seen one of the old gramophones, the mechanical devices here is one that I like, a common one your would find in many of the homes in the 40′s, 50′s and 60′s. I had the luxury of having one in my home, which was preserved for quite some time, however everything got lost after my mom and dad passed away. This video has intrigued me. As early as the 1920 these gramophones were made.

Gramophone

Listening to the 45 RPM, 33 RPM and 78 RPM was a long time ago, not many will know what these numbers mean; now these amazing record players on you tube is a sight for sore eye and tells you how far we have come in the music industry with crystal clear sound. I’m sure a time traveler from the 1960′s would not have been able to explain how the  music to the 21st century sounded like to his people.

Enjoy this nostalgic piece of history.
