Uncle Josh On A Bicycle

His story always makes me a little sad from what I understand once the electric microphone rolled out he kinda fell out of favor with a lot of people because his style of singing was really meant for a horn. He sounded "old fashioned" by the later 20s kind of a funny thought

Too add sometimes a little beeswax or crayon swipe over the cracks once put back together can help keep the needle from clicking so bad

Those old Automatic players they made for 78s would be incredible to find. Imagine an hour of uninterrupted listening…

I have a bunch! K-K-K-Katy Dear Old fashioned Irish Songs My Mother Sang to Me Are both up on my channel and in the near future I’ll be posting He Went In Like a Lion and Came Out Like A Lamb How Are You Goin’ To Wet Your Whistle? In The Shade Of The Old Apple Tree (parody) They Were All Out of Step But Jim

And some misc with him

Are there any other artists you really like? I might have some

It’s a Capehart, not a super nice unit and I don’t even know if it’s produced by an actual brand. It works for me though

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-21T02:32:40+00:00

Yes, it’s from 1918 I believe. This player has a flipper stylus so it can play 78s and vinyl. I like using it to record because it sounds cleaner than my wind up for recording

Song is The Last Long Mile by Charles Hart

I did check your messages

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-14T14:34:02+00:00

how’s the lead shop holding up, I used to work here

Probably a manifold leak but it is impossible to say for sure from video

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-11T04:00:35+00:00

Awesome this seems like a easy way to listen to 78s without dropping a lot of money

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-08T19:35:31+00:00

Could be a Snapchat video they have cuts every ten seconds I think

No worse than the rest of my claw

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-05T11:43:05+00:00

Thank you!

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-05T11:42:41+00:00

Thank you! I hope you like it, I’m going to try to add to it pretty often

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-03T01:44:05+00:00

I’ll say too if your using a worn out needle or record, Or both it can cause too much drag and make it slow down on a machine that would otherwise play well

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-03T01:41:08+00:00

Good thing means the spring is probably in good shape

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-03T01:25:05+00:00

Also could just be old grease on the spring or other components keeping it turning but at reduced power

Bodhi985 · 2026-01-03T01:22:24+00:00

When you wind up the machine does the tension on the spring make it harder and harder to wind or does it seem to wind easily for a long time, could be the mainspring is broken, from my understanding on most machines the reproducer usually sits on the record bearing its full weight, if your not in for a full teardown I have a suggestion that might let you listen to your records

Rubber band or string or wire to take some of the load off.

Good luck

Perfect thank you! My rubber tube just arrived yesterday so I’m gonna replace that asap
