Are they plentiful in Europe or did the World Wars take its toll?
James, nothing is plentiful in Europe concerning phonographs/gramophones of all kinds.

This same machine was sold in Spain. I have a couple of pictures from a collector in Madrid:

Just my 2 cents!

I would love to see more pictures, if you took more.
Pedro, I will send you a reproducer to fix up, as soon as I find one :D

I only took those pictures. In a matter of weeks I will come back there because I'm restoring an Ariston organette for him.

I will gladly restore your reproducer!

Pictures of the motor/winding handle would be very kindly appreciated.

Since I did see your work on the coquet I was looking for an excuse to employ your fabulous skills. :D

So it turned out, the missing parts miraculously fitted perfectly where they where missing. Unbelievable, as the rest of the gears and cogs are sized slightly bigger. I would not have thought to be able to fix this one.
Here it is in his natural habitat. :D
