Edison Disc Records
Check out THIS beauty! An Edison Disc Phonograph from 1912! And it STILL sounds GORGEOUS! Edison's Disc Records were very advanced for their time, using a diamond stylus (instead of a steel needle) and a floating diaphragm, things that wouldn't be seen again until the Hi-Fi age of the early '50s.
