Cup Phonograph Kit Assembly
A good proportion of viewers seemed to enjoy my Gakken Wax Cylinder kit video despite the less than impressive outcome...so here's the sequel.
This take on Edison's phonograph records onto disposable plastic cups rather than wax cylinders. This makes it less historically accurate than the first kit, but will hopefully mean that it produces much better results.
You can see how I get on in the video.

just noticed there is a indiegogo campaign for a do it kit you may (or may not) have checked into "Spinbox - A DIY Portable Turntable Kit " . Since you've done fiddley vid's like this in the past I wondered if you'd have an interest in this so you could build your own turntable. Would make a right fun video.
I hadn't heard of it...and I'm a bit dubious about it...however I put in an order to see how it turns out, so thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you Techmoan ... you just saved me $99.01 !
Glad I could help
Loved the video, specially the process of putting it together. I was also expecting different results, but loved it anyway. Btw, It's a shame that my English level is so s***ty that I can not understand sometimes the jokes, because I really love the puppets, but asking for an explanation of a joke has no sense. I need to improve :(
I work technical support for a living and assist a lot of non-native English-speaking customers. Your command over the English language far surpasses many I've seen. :)
Nice try, shame it didn't work. But you gave me an idea of what to do when I retire. " I haven't even watched it in my own" nice to see old jokes brought out for a airing!
I'd like to see a full-blown puppet narrative!
I was hoping you'd edit in playback of the wax version to compare the two.
Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate! Was I the only one that heard that?
Nope, I heard it too.
There seems to be a mistake in the text overlay at 0:48. If you do something else like this, could you play some amplified music or speech to save your voice?
That would be cheating. To me, the point here is to recapture the experience of the way it was made to work in the 19th century. If it doesn't involve a man shouting maniacally into a horn at the top of his lungs, it's not an authentic experience!
Sorry but I could not stopping thinking "pot noodle" every time you said "horn". Did you change to "cone" for any reason???
Hahaha... I think this is a testimony that the only proper solution is to go real proper lathe cutting (or metal pressings like the professionals) and real vinyl like the record I gave you. :D But very fun to watch as usual. Thumbs up! :)
"working really good", Mat! Grammar please lol.
So sad! All that design engineering and the product doesn't even work!
Brilliant, the sight of you shouting into a snake oil dispenser got me laughing. Yet another well made video. Thanks.
Perhaps the 'smug expression' is Japanese for 'Sucker'. That beast looks like it would be a beast to trouble shoot
I was a little shocked as I misread the title. The internet has corrupted me.
I'm looking forward to this one! (Not to imply that I do not usually look forward to your videos!)
It's hard to respond without giving away the ending.
