    The Puck style of talking machines was a phenomenon frpm the late 1890's to around 1906. These talking machines were at the lowest-end of the phonographic price range, selling cheaply and sometimes giving away one free with the purchase of 24 cylinders. Most commonly found variety is the cast-iron lyre-shaped Puck. Usually manufactured in France or Germany, many of them have no identifying marks, and were made by 3rd party manufacturers for sale by other companies.

    Typically a level surface was needed for the Puck, or the needle would slide off the record . Some Pucks were equipped with a spirit level and adjustable leveling screw to ensure that the cylinder was horisontal. They usually have asmall spring motor that is key-wound. The mandrel is connected to the governor pully with a loop of string.
    Though the lyre shaped base is the most typical, and there are many lyre variations, manufacturers were very creative with designs.
