Tinfoilphono Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 What a terrific video! Thanks, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analogous Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Thanks! It was fun pulling out some long-ignored treasures for this project. For background music, I considered using a Bettini recording but opted instead for something more cheery. It's Rainbow Dance by Columbia Orchestra, recorded in 1897 (many thanks to Columbia for that handy "New York City" announcement). Apologies for the 10 seconds at the end where someone played a bit with a Model O (or something). That's all it takes. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran604g Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 John, thank you for the wonderful video. Nicely done! Cheers, Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamaziere Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 John, great video. Love the Aiglon (Bettini n ° 2) at the end. I hope to build upon this with you to explain the connection with the builder/machinist of these fantastic machine's, Louis Lamazaiere. His work has been in the shadows too long.
