No plate in front of the mandrel in this phonograph nor in any other Spring Motor I have seen in Spain. Only a plate on the top with patent dates and serial number. No "Spring Motor" words in any place of this phonograph. Look at this picture of another Spring Motor from Spain: http://www.coleccionfb.com/Edison-Bettini.htm Perhaps they are Class M converted to Spring Motor? All spanish catalogs of phonograph shops did that conversion for half the price of a Class M.
