I should have been more clear. I need the metal rod and vertical metal part that holds the horn in place. It fits into folding "carriage". I have the horn, reproducer and rubber fitting.

Thank you in advance.
Hi. This is a Pathé "Royale". It is capable of playing both standard and Salon size cylinders. Yours semms to have only a Salon mandrel on it, but the regular mandrel can be found and a salon slip on mandrel applied to it. Here is a picture of the Royale with both mandrels, extension arm and horn. THese pieces can be found. Tim Fabrizio used to specialize in Pathé machines, and I have a connection in France.

John,
Allow me to piggyback on your quote about Tim Fabrizio. Do you think he would know where to find a crank for a Pathé 50 tabletop. No one seems to be able to find one or has ever seen one. The winding shaft on the motor is about 5/16" in diameter and has a slot that a pin, from the crank, fits in to.
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I did notice the seller doesn't ship to the USA, unless I misread it. At least I know what the part looks like.

Many times that's a default setting on eBay and if you send the seller a message they don't have a problem shipping to the US. You will probably need to know French or use Google Translate though. Jean-Paul Agnard may also have your part.

I did contact Jean-Paul. He is working on it. I should have contacted him first. He's a great guy to deal with.

It needs to be 4"- 5" out to the bend then about 5" down to the knob.

Hi,
attached the pic and measures of an original Pathé rod. This is the most current one although very long horns might require a longer rod.
