Kinephone / Gramophone Cinema

by Phonophan79 » Sat Apr 07, 2007 4:35 am

This clever artifact from the 1920's allowed you to turn your phonograph into a zoetrope so you could watch short animated films on it. A disk of animation is placed on the turn table, a slotted viewing device fits on top of a holder with 3 wheels and a metal bar holds the wooden holder in place. Its original box is complete with five disks of animations, including Charlie Chaplin and Felix the Cat.
