I have a weakspot for those..in storage is my 1917 standup model from my grandparents, along with a nice collection of all acoustically-recorded 78s. Last time I visited the machine, I regreased the spring and oiled the cabinet. I recall playing BEER BARREL POLKA by the Glahe Musette orchestra 1930s on it and it sounded surprisingly 'alive'.

They were recording electrically, by then. The fidelity was amazing, even with the limitations, at the time.
