Re: Pathéphone in need of love
Looks like a Model 75, not a bad little machine.

Re: Pathéphone in need of love
Looks like an earlier model without a convertible arm - this would only play vertical cut discs.
I'd pick this up if it were a little closer- it's 3 hours from me & that's a full day and a tank of gas.

Re: Pathéphone in need of love
Yes, the 75s are vertical only, unless an adopter comes with it. I was lucky that one was with it when I bought mine.
By the way, from what I read the change over to the swivel system to play both types took place some time in 1917.

Re: Pathéphone in need of love
Not sure what's so bad about it, except what appears to be the bottom of the cabinet sitting on the floor. Same situation as estott: 145 miles each way... plus the fact that there's a Victrola & a Viva-Tonal already in the car !
