@@writerpatrick I'll second that. They put out the C200 direct drive which is just a ATLP120 without the pop-up target light and a AT3600 cartridge. Same Hanpin parts. However, I would advise against Crosley's entry level tables due to the absurd tracking force on those cartridges. Some say otherwise, but I had a Numark PT with a similar tonearm/cartridge that has indeed done some damage to a few records. They should have marketed those for 7in scratch DJs as it has adequate tracking force for scratching.

honestly, I would love to see these remade with modern precision materials (high quality) at an extremely affordable price. when I say modern, i'm talking about making the exact same style of analogue player ( or one that doesn't look like a battery powered overblown hair flatiron) but including such modern developments like diamond needles, a more robust and pre dampened sound box, and efficient spring torque that contains the tension longer for extended plays, and the same portability. As a novelty, it's sublime...as a practical analogue back up when the lights go out...it's genius. Too bad the India reproduction is such absolute rubbish....wish another swiss or german company would reproduce these for a modern audience.

This comment is amazing. It fails to understand how massively flawed the design is (it relies massively on a hell of a lot of tracking force), it demands that its "extremely affordable" (ie cheap enough that he can buy it) whilst demanding modern features that couldn't be delivered at that price point and completely fails to realise that mechanical players of vinyl records are uncommon for a reason and just assumes it'll work with no understanding of either how records or how mechanical players work ... It's like a comment someone would make up to make fun of KZfaq commenters. Utterly clueless and yet confidently making demands of technology they don't understand even a little bit. Amazing.

Mikiphones were designed at a time (1924) when electric recordings were just about to appear so they're not really designed to play more than acoustic recordings (so anything made later will make the motor and soundbox struggle playing it). It's extremely tricky to make them work properly (but if you're patient at mechanics you can) but if you do it they'll play acoustic or very early electric recordings with no flutter. Frequency range will be very limited but the sound will be acceptable considering its capacities (a mica diaphragm - and a tiny plastic resonator). Early models do not have painted letters and have the same orientation as the replica you have but will have signs of wear of course. It's definitely not an audiophile item even at the time but a marvel of engineering indeed.

My brother used to have this nice travel record player about the size of an old typewriter case. It held maybe 1 record inside and was a wind up. I used to like playing around with it. He also had this neat mini gramophone from our trip to Edison's winter house in Florida. They sold them in the gift shop and it came with 3 mini wax records. You'd either wind it up or put a battery in (not sure which now) and it would play like an old wind up. Was really cool!

I've always been here,watching your channel,and finally, as a Hungarian, I finally hear about a Hungarian designer! Especially that I have never heard of this device,though I'm familiar with older machinery ( no matter if it is electric,electronic or electromechanic). Thanks Techmoan! Your research is pretty priceless,and valuable. Keep on with it,because I (as a musician and generally a sound guy and retro tech enthusiast) really enjoy your videos,and in this case particularly when I heard you mentioning the words "hungarian designer" and "Miklós Vadász"( I guess) I immediatley lifted my head up,and my eyes started bulging out,while trying to sharpen my ears and listened back to the name a couple of times,-because at first, I almost couldn't believe it. Though if I think it through, it is not so surprising, there were many hungarian inventors and engineers in the past,putting together some, well let's just say "neat" little things for our beloved modern world-(both good and bad stuff as well....anyway-) Before seeing this video, I would've never expected,or presumed that a hungarian would've made an early version of a type of record player, I think this is pretty cool.

So I was told a couple of decades ago when I started collecting vintage records that there was a fundamental difference between records designed for gramophones and Records to be played on electronic devices. when artificial Sapphire needles rolled around and Diamond needles they change how the records were made so you can play gramaphone records on an electronic reproducer but not vice versa if your record is designed to be used on an electronic phonograph the grooves are different and you can damage the record if you play it on a steel needle gramophone. so if your record was made in the 40s and 50s it's probably not designed for a gramophone. anyway that's what I was told that I've been following that rule ever since

Considdering everything is a little off dimension wise and how it fits together, it sounds like (no pun intended - *ahem*) that it was reproduced from pictures with no context of how the things fit together. Anyway thanks for another infomative and interesting video Techmoan - can't have a good Saturday with out a Techmoan video to watch!

@@user2C47 yeah i was thinking that a while back as well. Or he just gives it away with christmas to his family haha. I'd do that... I think at this point he just buys interesting stuff to make a video and then sees how to get rid of it. I suppose a lot of stuff could go back onto ebay as well.

Honestly, a lot of the charm of this particular video is how Mat channels his barely-disguised contempt for the reproduction's quality into the kind of dry British humor many people know and love around the world. ;)

Hey at least they are honest about the quality and suggest it being used as a display piece. If only other companies were so honest.

because of you i built a system and got into vinyls and love it... granted my system is a modern system with a Yamaha R-N303BL Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB (i dont use the usb on it) Polk Audio T15 and 2 Polk T50s all worth every penny... ive been watching your videos so long and always wanted my own system and just decided to jump in a few weeks ago and im kicking myself for not doing it sooner...

Very interesting device even if the reproduction is flawed, thanks for sharing. I have to assume that the "portability" of the device takes a hit from the need to fit a few 10" 78's in your pocket in addition to the player.

Playing one of those records with one of the Mikiphones on maximum volume'd make a good torture method

Almost an Alan Partridge moment there: "Time now for 'Techmoan's Fact of the Day.' The old phrase "Put a sock in it" comes from the practice of sticking a sock in a gramophone horn to reduce the volume. Another one of those again tomorrow."

I'm impressed with how decent the original Mikiphone sounded, basically similar to many of the children's record players made in the '50s and '60s. I had one as a kid that a friend once call a "Black & Decker" turntable; the needle would shred any record put under it.

If you want a fibre needle to fit into a soundbox that only has a round hole, you make the end of the fibre needle round, while leaving the rest at the original dimensions. Chuck it up in a small lathe, turn the end round. Or scrape it with a knife by hand until it is a cylindrical shape where it goes into the soundbox.
