(see mahogany at http://www.intertique.com/VitaphoneDemo.html ) The in-lid horn & its complex "plumbing" connection are less than wonderful. An Edison cygnet horn connected directly to the reproducer produces a very loud & "fat" sound on lateral records. I think that the length of the vibrating wooden piece kills upper registers, but mid & low tones come out very well. Mine won't track Pathe hill&dale discs at all, and I won't even try Edison discs on it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron L'Herault" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "'Antique Phonograph List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 1:44 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Vitaphone acoustic machine >A few MOCAPS members have been discussing the lateral/vertical Vitaphone > phono from the teens, early 20s.
