Pathé Motor??

I am working on a motor that was described as being from a 6' tall cabinet coin operated Pathé disc phonograph, though the owner was a bit uncertain about the model. It is a fairly substantial motor with 2 large springs (1 ⅜" wide, .028" thick, with 4" ID spring barrels). It is stamped WOLFF 'A VERSAILLES. Is this a Pathé? It doesn't seem to have any Pathé markings...???

Thanks! Cliff

This motor comes from an Automatique Concert, a coin-op that was used in bars. The manufacturers were many, but the design was always very similar. Pathé did not sell it . A great machine to play Pathé records, with a large horn, and the motor is very powerful.
