Tai Peng Electronics, with the warmest respects to the inventors of electronic appliances throughout history, has attempted to keep a record of all the developments and breakthroughs in the electronic appliance industry.
On the 125th birthday of the day when the Phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison, December 4th 2002, Tai Peng Electronics is proud to announce the opening of
"Sound of the Century" Antique Electronics Museum in Macau. The museum's wide range, variety, and quantity of ancient treasures is rarely seen in the entire world.
You can experience these antiques not only from appearance but with your own ears experience the sounds and musics that these treasures has entertained us with throughout the Century.
This website only contains a small portion of our collection in the Museum. Besides images, we at Sound of the Century have prepared several wax cylinders and early 78rpm records so that you can experience
the music from these ancient treasures. The best of all, you can view these antiques as they perform, online at this website.
Through this time portal, you will discover that 150 years ago, before records are born, mankind have already used
paper and wood to record music and play them through manual organs, and used steel plates to play music through manual music boxes.
Manual telephones from 90 years ago, carved cashiers from 80 years ago, tube radios from 70 years ago,
wire recorders from 60 years ago during WWII, televisions and coin-operated juke boxes from 50 years ago,
the first cassette player from 40 years ago, video record disc players from 30 years ago, and several
portabletransistor radios from Europe and Japan 40 years ago. The biggest attraction is probably the
2 portable manual "energy-free" radios introduced a few years ago.
Even if you are in the desert where there is no source of energy at all, these environmentally-friendly "energy-free" radios
will still be able to receive radio broadcasts.
If you haven't had enough of these antiques after browsing through our online collection,
we would like to invite you to visit our Tai Peng Electronics Sound of the Century Museum at Rua Das Estalagens 3/F Macau
and experience these ancient treasures of technology, brought to you by us from all over the world, from all over the Century.
