Well, I did post this here more than a week ago, so I'm not surprised it's fallen off the pages. You'll probably have to experiment with post sorting options.

Trimming my YouTube watch history has blessed me with niche, low-views stuff like this.

Also, if you want to see more of these kinds of videos on !videos@lemmy.world, share some and encourage more interest in them. The US politics posts are boring.

The mythical cat nest

 

A 19th-century synthesizer that broadcast music over telephone lines. You'd pay to listen to electronic telephone concerts. The power needed was so great that the music signal would crosstalk to nearby phone lines.

It only ran for a handful of years. As this got started, radio was becoming more widespread.

These kinds of gadgets fascinate me. They were only useful for a short period of time before something else came along and obsoleted them. The Telharmonium was like this as well.
