Wow! I've never seen the Pathé Diffusor as an upright, only as table tops. Thanks for sharing.

Pathé produced these Diffusor cabinets in a number of different styles. I have one in Napoleon III (sort-of) style, quite nice. Bought it 10 years ago from the daughter of the original owner in Lyon. It is pretty much the table top machine installed on a cabinet, with similar louvers, front winding and the external break knob.
