Beautiful! Very ingenious.
Actually I have more admiration for these types of technical devices than for, for example, a smart phone....

@ericdere @Sardonicus That was one of them. I've watched as many videos on gramophones(really anything powered by wind up springs) as I could to determine if a #Solarpunk project I want to eventually work on is even worth trying.

Magique ! Il n'y a vraiment que les Suisses pour réaliser ce genre d'œuvre.
Je pense que l'on pouvait aussi enregistrer sur des disques vierges.

@Sardonicus Beautiful. But wouldn't such a think profit from a counterweight? Or a spring? To ease the weight of the speaker?

@Sardonicus Very cool! I showed my wife, she apparently came across one of these while helping sort out someone's estate.
