"This machine cannot be operated until the 10 centimes coin is inserted into the slot; when this is done, all you have to do is wind up the motor and one record only will be played, after which the motor automatically stops. The user can then change the needle and play another record by inserting another 10 centimes coin."

All the recordings on this page are from early lateral cut records, some of which are more than 100 years old. A bit scratchy, I must admit, but essential documents of archaeophonology...
