From: john robles <john9...@pacbell.net> Subject: [Phono-L] New phonograph - Pathe cylinder machine To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Date: Monday, January 17, 2011, 5:17 PM Hi all Here is the newest machine I have acquired, purchased before Christmas. Had I known the expenses I would run into with my dog, I might have waited... It is a Pathe Coquet, a French machine from about 1905 or so. It is small, the size of a Columbia AA, very cute. It is made of walnut, which is a nice change from oak. The reproducer had been cobbled together with rubber cement instead of proper gaskets, and the sapphire is broken. I have a new sapphire and gaskets and diaphragm on order. I had to use GooGone and a dental implement to clean the gunk off the reproducer; see the before/after picture. Here is a link to the photos. http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/Pathe%20Coquet/ John Robles _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
