1907 Multiphone

This is a MULTIPHONE OF THE Multiphone Operating Company of New York, with the machine controlled by the National Patent Company of New York. Most books date the machine at 1905, whereas the actual date is the spring of 1907, with 1908 the year the machine was available in numbers. It is regarded by many as the first selectible jukebox as it played Edison cylinder recordings and allowed the customer to pick the selection. While it appears to be coin operated, it was actually run by checks sold by the location or bartender with the name "Multiphone Operating Company, New York" on them.

The cost to hear this machine is $1.00. Please see the attendant for operation of the machine. Thank you.
