SOLD : ARETINO WITH MECHANICAL FEED TURNTABLE 900.00
Here is a very rare Aretino front mount that incorporates the mechanical feed turntable. The reproducer is in a fixed position with the horn, and the turntable moves under the reproducer. I will Quote from the Fabrizio & Paul book THE TALKING MACHINE An Illustrated COMPENDIUM on page 138 towards the bottom It reads " In this " Aretino" of 1909 Hawthorne and Sheble finally achieved in design what had been attempted by subterfuge until then: true mechanical feed. The turntable tracks under the fixed soundbox. Here is your chance to own a rare machine at a minimal cost. This machine has the original reproducer as shown. Also, this machine takes a different support arm than the traditional Aretino front mount. Everything looks to be original except the decal which is a Gregg Cline reproduction. I can deliver this to the upcoming Donley auction for free. There will be buyers there traveling all directions if you are interested. I will be out of the country from Dec 2 - Dec7

I bet people would enjoy a photo with the turntable removed so they could see how the turntable travels. (I know I would!

Thanks for posting the photos. In fifty years collecting I don't recall seeing that version of a front mount Aretino. I may have walked by one at Union but it would be easy to miss as it looks the same as an ordinary Aretino front mount. A machine like this adds interest to a collection. Congratulations to the new buyer!
