Aeolian Vocalion Phonograph
By Graeme Parish

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I have an Aeolian Vocalion Phonograph in a cabinet, and in good
working order.  The name appears to have been transfered onto the
inside of the cabinet lid in scrolled gold writing.  There is also
a small badge that has been attached to the lid which says "The Pianola
Company - Australia".

The machine also has a knob that can be wound to control the amount
of sound output from the horn.  There's a little door at the front
which exposes the horn (which obviously is internal).  Under that is
a cupboard for keeping 78s.

Does anyone know anything about this machine, any history or date?
Can anyone provide a contact point where I might find out more?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as the subject is very new to me.
Thanks.
