One of the first uses of the wind up phonograph was in dolls. Miniature wind up machines were placed into dolls so that they could speak.

Most of talking doll machines used a wind up mechanism that spun a cylinder disk usually made of wax or celluloid, while on some models the child actually had to spin the record themselves at a constant speed. Very hard to do at any age!

The record needles were very similar to the traditional stand up home models that either used needles made of steel or steel with a sapphire tip.

If your talking doll is in need of repair we can service it for you. If you do not wish to remove the mechanism yourself, we can do that as well. With her masters degree in doll making, Sue Phillips can also tend to all your doll needs as well. 

 Pictured here on this page is a wind up record player from a Madame Hendren doll (Dolly Reckord).
