Re: Playing Pathé on Edison
You shouldn't play a Pathé record with either of these, unless you have a 78 adapter that can bet set to vertical reproduction, and a Pathé sapphire ball stylus.JAR wrote:Can Pathé records be played on my Edison C-19,

Re: Playing Pathé on Edison
You need to have an adapter that is designed to play vertical cuts. Some of the lateral adapters have a swivel joint to allow the reproducer to swivel, but not all of them. Here's a thread about one such reproducer I own:

Of course, you'll also need a Pathé stylus to play vertical cut Pathé discs.

Then, all you need is a sapphire ball stylus to play them...

Re: Playing Pathé on Edison
That depends on whether they are later, outside-start records, or the earlier, inside-start ones.
The latter will not work on an Edison, as the feedscrew must be engaged to play records.

Re: Playing Pathé on Edison
With an adapter you do not need to engage the feedscrew to play records- The tracking won't be very good, but with a vertical cut disc tracking error is less of a problemLucius1958 wrote:That depends on whether they are later, outside-start records, or the earlier, inside-start ones.

Re: Playing Pathé on Edison

In general, If it has the pressed-in title (no paper label) and the titling is in French, it is center start.JAR wrote:how do you determine the outside-start records,from the earlier, inside-start ones?
