Today's Blind Skeleton video examines a vintage recipe for coffee custard. Of course, in Blind Skeleton fashion, we used our own coffee roast to do it. Makes a great evening snack!

Coffee time is upon us! Come celebrate the opening of the Blind Skeleton Coffee Shop with a video sharing a 19th century coffee recipe and, of course, vintage music.

The coffee in the video is Blind Skeleton's Skeleton Brew roast Praline Potion. The song is Egyptland by Six Brown Brothers, and Boneapart is sadly missing. He'll be back soon.

I have an antique Victrola VV-IV (Victrola the Fourth) 78 rpm phonograph. I was able to obtain it rather inexpensively at an auction. The VV-IV model was Victor's (The Victor Talking Machine Company) model which was the first to be widely available to the public; it was inexpensive as far as phonographs at the time went. The initial model was first producted in 1911; this particular phonograph I have here would have been made in 1916.

The Victrola VV-IV has a single spring motor which is good to play about one record before needing to be rewound. It also does not have a closable lid, which does effect the end sound.

When I first played this particular phonograph I noticed that there was a very loud "machine gun" type sound coming from the governor. The governer is the mechanism which regulates the turntable speed and it should be quiet, or at least not have a "beating" sound, which is an indication that the governor needs to be replaced.

This particular video walks through replacing the governor and the end result.

We've reached the last day of our advent today. We're bringing in Christmas Day with the last mini book of The Nutcracker and the last side of the 1938 phonograph recording of A Christmas Carol. I hope you've enjoyed them as much as I have, along with all the music we've played previously.

Whatever you may celebrate this December, I wish all of you the best of good tidings and a happy and peaceful New Year.

By the 1970's, well after RCA had bought Victor, the Victor name began to be phased out completely, although the famous. Nipper trademark remained. Ultimately RCA was bought out by Sony, who also ended up buying Columbia as well. Decades after being arch competitors, Victor and Columbia were now sister brands under the same umbrella.

The Victrola trademark was ultimately purchased by a company named Innovative Technology who has breathed new life into vinyl and phonograph technologies. It just goes to show that you cannot keep a good Victor down!

The Victor company was ultimately sold to RCA in 1929. Victor was already producing Victrola's that had the features to include an RCA radio addon, so the pairing seemed natural. RCA continued to manufacture Victrola branded turntables well into the 60s.

As we continue to side 2 with A Christmas Carol we can enjoy the use of narration and a musical score to guide us through the story. What we can quickly discover, however, is that the story itself was simply not written, or scored, for 4 and a half minute chapters. Interestingly, shortly after this particular album was produced, there was a new technology that produced 16 rpm records that could hold an amazing 40 minutes of audio per side. The fidelity was not music quality, but it was perfect for the spoken word. This particular story would have worked wonderfully on a 16rpm record.
