California's Gold with Huell Howser
Fotoplayer
Season 8
Episode 8007
Huell meets Joe Rinaudo, whose passion is a 1926 Fotoplayer, which uses music rolls like those for player pianos to provide music and sound effects to silent films. Joe spent thousands of hours restoring his Fotoplayer, and although the “talkies” made them obsolete in the late 1920s, Huell discovers there is still no better way to enjoy a silent movie than with Joe and his Fotoplayer.
