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.

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.

Well bought. Interesting machine, and an entertainment to restore it. Congrats!

this seems to be the original version of that exact machine by Palliard.
