Beam of Light Demo
#1

I thought you all might enjoy hearing (and seeing) the end product of several years of research and discovery. As I mentioned in my previous post seeking information about the Beam of Light Photo Cell, there is much to learn and not a lot of souces to extract that information regarding this simple yet complex system. I've talked to many people over the years and culled a little bit of information from all of them. I owe a great deal of thanks to all of you who have given me information so freely on these forums. I guess that's what it's all about, sharing our knoledge with each other and a love of these old and sometimes wonderful technologies from a bygone era.

The Demo that I've put together uses my 1941 Philco Radio/Phonograph Console model 41-616. I've chosen to set the record changer in the manual mode of operation. I think it's an amazingly good sounding system and would stack it up against some of the finast systems of it's day.

So, follow the YouTube link below to hear "Music on a Beam of Light".
