Regina Model 216 Music Box With 12 Bells (1906)
This is a rather scarce Regina Model 216 music box with twelve bells, playing "Come Take a Trip in My Airship" and "Under the Double Eagle" March. Shipped from the Rahway New Jersey factory in 1906, this was one of only 71 total home models made between 1904 and 1906. Enjoy!

A most beautiful work of art. Love these old consoles. Usually bought at a furniture store
@@jamesbates5762 Thanks for your nice comment! Enjoy the music!
Home alone
Excelente documental!!
Not variable resistance but variable reluctance cartridge
@@raelectron4360 You're right! I got the terms mixed up!🙂 Thanks for your comment!
@@GracevilleMN Nice machine, I didn't mean to sound critical. I think it would be nice if there were a way to make a variable resistance cartridge, it probably be very linear and no hum issues. Maybe someone a lot smarter than I am could do that someday? Thanks for not taking offence to my comment.
@@raelectron4360 No problem at all! I'm glad you like the machine!
Awesome Technologie. Whith out Electronics.
A world without Plastic. A true work of art. Great job on the video.
@@WAYNENYC100 I so glad you enjoyed it! Thank very much!
RCA Really AHEAD OF IT'S TIME WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL VICTROLA! Absolutely love it!!! It still runs!!!!
@@missybaker1608 Thanks for your nice comments! I still enjoy this machine!
Beautiful. Mechanism.
@@constancefernandes3638 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Why did they make the stylus’s so damn big?
Hello! Good Question! I figure you're wondering about the entire tone arm. The tone arm looks a lot heavier than it is. The underside is hollow, and there's a rather large counterweight on the pivot end. Using a small digital scale it shows about 4.16 ounces while in operation. I use cactus thorn needles exclusively with this. Record wear seems minimal, and I can easily play 6 or 7 sides before re-sharpening the point. Thanks for watching!
@@GracevilleMN Wow, now those are some sturdy grooves. (Yeah, I mixed up stylus and tonearm, thank you for the explenation!)
Isso é da época em que os homens faziam invenções extraordinárias. E que os homens de hoje simplesmente descartaram e trocaram por porcarias de pouca duração.
Amazing👍🏻!!!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks!
Very cool!
Am I wrong or could you set this to play the same stack repeatedly?
Actually you're completely right regarding continuous repeating of the stack until stopped by the operator. There's no automatic shutoff except when single sides are played with the changer set to "manual" mode. Thanks for question!
Gorgeous !! Absolutely fascinating !! Lovely machine and the best era in music !!
I'm do very glad you liked it! Thanks for the nice comment!
Very well done video. Thanks.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
To je vrchol, nádhera.
Děkuju! Jsem ráda, že jste si to užili!
Ahh!! Maravilha!! adorei! lindo Gabinete
Just wonderful! What a true hybrid. The sensing of record sizes is amazing. The tossing the records aside was only done very early in record changer history, fortunately. I have a 1974 RCA Victrola console; the last year for the 2 towers letting the records down. BTW, Victor Ortho-phonic reproducers are terrific sounding, getting everything out of the new, electrically recorded records of the late-20s day.
Very, very funny, Melchior the I would say greatest Wagner Tenor (and together with Falgstad, greatest Wagner Soparno OMG) could bee also very funny
There's one at the Bayernhof Museum in Pittsburgh in good working order.
Woche ende und Sommerschein ! I want to by you !❤❤ !
What type of needle were one supposed to use with this machine? Tungsten? Sapphire?
The Capehart operator's manual specifies Tungsten needles. Thanks for your question!
This is awesome to see. I've heard of these old changers, but I'd never seen one until now. Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment!
Best demo ever
Thanks so much! I enjoy music of that era. Viewed your Million Dollars rendition and right away subscribed. Will enjoy watching the others. Really nice style on keyboard and vocals! 😉
When did the 4 minute version come out? I've only ever seen these as 2 minute machines.
Record changers are garbage
what a wonderful movie " Two Sisters From Boston" watched it so many times. great
J'ignorais totalement que cet automatisme était aussi vieux ! Un model de ce genre doit valoir une véritable fortune. Merci pour votre partage
Oui, il a plus de quatre-vingt-dix ans ! Je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo. Merci pour votre commentaire!
😍😍😍
😉😉😉
Awesome 👍 radiogram
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The first song that that plays is my favorite
Glad you like it! Titled "Happy Days Are Here Again." Thanks for your comment!
The owner would have to get 25,000 nickles to cover the cost of the unit! That is a lot of plays on the unit, and if it broke and needed repairs, what a cost! But it is a beautiful machine!
Phenomenal bit of kit!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment!
What about changing the needle?
Victor recommended using its "Chromium" needles, rated by the company to play multiple sides for these changers. In my opinion these needles caused more wear than the earlier VictrolaTungs-Tone variety. Thanks for your question!
Hello! Was 33RPM records already in 1931? I mean the switch in the radiola: 5:38
Yes, this speed was an early attempt to market a longer playing record, but not really successful until re-introduced by Columbia Records with its microgroove and vinyl format post WW II. Thanks for your question!
Deveria custar muito caro na época!
JUST PLAIN LOVE IT! I love everything about it! The cabinet, the radio and the changer! Blows away these plastic and pressed sawdust garbage players made nowadays! Too bad that it doesn't do 33&1/3 rpm, but who needs em' when this plays and changes the 78's so well? So glad you posted and i'm also a native Minnesotan! Greetings from Tennessee!
Great shots of the inner workings!
Thanks! I had the foresight to film these while on the workbench during restoration.
It truly ia amazing as to how beautiful the sound is, despite there being no electronics involved in the reproduction. That exponential horn abd the HMV reproducer really bring out the best of those electrically recorded records. Since steel needles are only good for one play, what sort of stylus is used for a machine like this? The one here looks looks a bit like the tungs-tone needle, if my memory of the pictures I've seen isat all accurate (that statement should tell you much about what I know about this part of antique phonographs.) Thanks for the wonderful music!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the questions. These automatic gramophones were designed to be used with the Tungs-tone multi-play needles as you mentioned. For this demonstration, however, a cactus thorn needle was used. With good unworn records you can play many sides before the needle needs to be re-sharpened, much like a pencil point. In my opinion the natural cactus thorn is gentler on the records and can be re-sharpened many times before it becomes too short for use. Thanks for your comments!
I have the other in my shed I keep my chain saw on it.... everything in life is on loan
No wonder people weren't buying records in 1931, if the record players cost $247.50. Jeez!
Completely mechanical... great artifact!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment!
Beautiful 🥰
Yes, it's a beauty! Thanks for your comment!
Rare, stunning and absolutely GORGEOUS talking machine, which by the way plays GREAT !!!
This for sale?

What a gorgeous piece of machinery. And such wonderful fidelity. The low flutter is amazing! Nice selection of music, too!
Thank you! I worked hard to achieve a steady speed. Thanks for your comment!
And you're in Minnesota, too!
@@derspike Born there in Graceville. Now out east. Thanks again!
Amazing machine! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Happy to share!
Remarkable machine! Today they just can not make this anymore. People were more smart back then. Today they are all lazy.
The old technology is fascinating! Thanks for your comment!
A cactus thorn needle ?!?
Yes, they could be used instead of steel ! Thanks for your comment!
Oh! What a genius of a man inventing this beautiful piece of musical equipment
I agree! Thanks for your nice comment!
