It's sometimes both calming and eerie to listen these things playing music

Nice machine. Closing the lid acts as a type of low pass filter as it cuts out some of the surface noise. I think machines like this were designed to be played with the lid down, but it depends how much you trust the autostop! 😅 I think the cute little record cleaner is vintage, but may have been added by the original owner, and not factory fitted. I also wonder if the soundbox is the original one. Looking at the way it sits at an angle, it might be slightly too big for the machine. Thanks 😀 👍

It’s was made more from the later 1920s
