History of the gramophone

The gramophone, invented in 1877 by the American Edison, is generally regarded as a 19th century marvel. It is a machine that records and plays back sound through analogue signals. In the 1940s, the gramophone was the most important music-playing device. After the 1960s, people gradually entered the digital age and the gramophone gradually disappeared from people's view. However, the sounds recorded in the era of analogue signals are still played on the gramophone, which sounds more classical and valuable. What is not known is that most classic gramophones are manually operated. To revive the classics, this one lets you operate the gramophone with a crank.

The record as a status symbol

The gramophone supports 7-inch and 10-inch records. So you can play the favourites of your youth on it. Comes with a vinyl record that plays 3 music tracks:

• The Merry Gent
• Memory Of A Dance
• The Giant Killers

The volume can be controlled manually via the rotary knob. There is also a micro USB port that can be connected to an external power supply to reduce the intensity of the hand crank.

The challenge and the tricky situations during assembly are worth it when the showpiece is finished and the crackling of the records sounds from the gramophone. Are you ready for your project made of 424 parts?
