Would getting a Pathé adapter to use on my Victor II be better to play the Pathé discs?edisonplayer

Yes, certainly. They play excellent on my three-spring motor gramophone (DGAG Monarch No. 15) of 1903.

I little FYI for you.....A Victor 2 has the worst tracking error of all the number line. If you own Eric Riess' book, you can read up on this.
Not a machine you will want to play your "better" records on by any means.... .

When did those mugs in Camden finally get a handle on that tracking issue ?

The Victor III doesn't fare much better. It's impossible to play Rex or Pathés on mine with a Pathé adapter. The XVI and VI play well but of course the Brunswick Ultona outperforms them all.
