Phonograph Wound by Pumping Piano
By Al Menashe
I saw an interesting item at an auction here in Portland. It was a Player piano with a phonograph built in. What was unusual was that the pumping of the piano also wound up the spring in the phonograph, there was no crank. so before you could play a record you had to pump it up, or play a roll. It went for $1100. I guess I should have bid more. I dont recall the brand, but it was American made.
