Mill Opera Concert Apparatus Model 20. Mill Opera were operas and operettas that were performed in mills in the 1900s. In this case it is a small German company that manufactured gramophones and shellac records around 1909. The Mill Opera gramophones are a true rarity these days. The type 20 gramophone was one of their top products and was operated with the company's own sound box "Mill Opera Concert sound box" and a spring motor from the Swiss company Anker Marke. PRICE AT THE TIME: 84 marks (price later reduced to 69 marks. Monthly rate 5 marks). I tried to model this historical apparatus true to my research. Inside the box there is a symbolically represented spring motor, the box can be opened through a box door. The turntable, the motor and the tonearm are animated to play the record once within 5500 frames. This time can be set in the driver editor (purple colored entry in the Objeckt transform settings). You can see this clearly by 1. opening the flap in the box or 2. placing the viewport representation on a tranzperens or grid and rendering it in the viewport. The record label can be easily changed in the shader node. The record on the turntable has a mesh spiral and a normal map so that this record reflects the light particularly well and is therefore also suitable for close-up recordings, the other records in the record stand On the other hand, only those have a normal map and are therefore more suitable as background objects. the other colors can also be used e.g. Wood colors can be adjusted using color ramps. The funnel holder is a very special rarity so I am happy to have found reference material about this holder. The gramophone model comes with a matching youth style side table, a record stand with some records, a vintage record cleaning tool and the original 1909 order form and advertising leaflet. I hope you have fun with the model and may your scenes be successful.
