The Mutoscope Voice-O-Graph: It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

"1957 Mutoscope Voice-O-Graph"
pinrepair.com, from marvin3m.com

"Description: Voice-O-Graph, International Mutoscope, 1957, a record recording booth (similar to a photo booth) that lets the patron make an actual 6" record which could be played on any record player. Customer selectable output record for 45 or 78 RPM...."

The fellow's looking for one.

The page shows photos of a Voice-O-Graph (I think) that's rather the worse for wear, and pieces of another. Or maybe of the same one. Either way, the device is in bad shape.

Also, copies of advertising for the latest way to make lots of money with new technology - 1957 style.

Before we start making fun of the International Mutoscope and the Voice-O-Graph, let's consider what some of today's technological marvels may look, fifty years from now: like making electricity and paving from garbage.
