It is also very similar to this, although not Edison-Bell...

Perhaps Edison-Bell bought them out?

Thanks Teak. Does the mechanism reverse into the cabinet? Thanks, Jerry

Similaryes, the same way a as a Pathé 1 resembles a columbia eagle. The theatrophone is distinguised by its bruckner patent carriage that allowed adjustment for various size cylinders.Roaring20s wrote:It is also very similar to this, although not Edison-Bell...

EDISON BELL sourced their early machines from german companies like excelsior or krefeld.
The clpgs website has a pic of a complete machine in turn over cabinet. Would be interesting to know if cabinet sizes are the same between EB and Theatrophone.

Re: What did I just buy?
this seems to be the original version of that exact machine by Palliard.
