Rene Rondeau's Antique Phonograph Museum

A collector since age 12, René Rondeau's site showcases the early history of recorded sound, with great photos and detail of late 1800s/early 1900s recording machines. The site covers tinfoil, cylinder and coin-operated phonographs and gramophones from big names like Edison, Columbia, and Berliner, as well as French models and disc talking machines. There are also several in-depth articles of interest to phonograph collectors.
