Where ’tis at!

Well if they’re electric they’d be a bit of an anachronism, since those weren’t invented until a good 50 years after A Christmas Carol came out in 1843, but then the cylinder phonograph itself wasn’t invented until 1877 so it’s doubly out of place. I have to admit though, when I first saw this, I thought it actually looked like the the earpieces of a stethoscope. Considering that one of the first binaural stethoscopes with flexible tubing was invented in 1852 by George Cammann, it’s not inconceivable to think a rudimentary type of headphone could have existed at the same time as the player did.
 
Still, this is pony technology. Who knows what their 1800-1900 equivalent was like, technologically speaking.

Man, being a DJ in Ye Olde Tymes was really easy. You just had to turn a crank.

Good to see they did their homework. Using wax cylinders instead of records.

From the way it’s worn, it looks like she’s wearing an old fashioned stethoscope as makeshift headphones… honestly, a rather ingenious solution since a wax cylinder player would be entirely acoustical and have no electrical sound amplification.

Head phones didn’t exist back then. Where did she get those?
