US PHONO wrote:Hello,
Yours is a Pathé model 1 (also named as COQ in the earlier Pathé catalogs). It was available in this case style as well as a flip over case, and a neccessaire.
You are missing the horn, reproducer & horn support arm. They occasionally pop up on Ebay.
well there can be a little more to it than that
suport arm
there where 2 types of support arms for the coq
1 : a support arm that is directly connected to the horn with a butterfly screw with a hinge underneath (you could also call that one the Pathé el cheapo support arm)
2 : a support arm with a 2 part system with the general support arm and a secondary part with a hinge that fits into the general support arm this arm also comes with a spring metal clamp in witch you can clamp the horn in upright position
the horn
the first types of the coq where columbia model b copies thus they had no horn suport and the horn would fit on the trunion the horn used in this case was a simple cone the general color for these was red
(on this one the color is black)

your coq model was the third type
the horn you see the most on these is the spun aluminium horn (i think paul agnard still sells these)
how ever sometimes you also see these phono's with a witch-hat horn in this case the horn is red with either a aluminium bell or a nickle plate brass bell
the reproducer
again multiple choices
the first coq models with horn support came with the Pathé laurent reproducer a copy of the reproducer from the columbia model b
this reproducer was continued on the suport arm models and would slide inside the horn (aldough some apear with rubber sleeves and the boxes show the orpheus name)
the most used are the gutta percha orpheus reproducers these have a rubber sleeve to fit tightly on the horn
the orpheus comes in 2 sizes the earlyer ones are quite small in diameter more like the diameter of a puck reproducer
the second version of the orpheus was 2 times bigger
a third option was the rex reproducer wich was even bigger in diameter than the orpheus type 3

note: this rex does not have the rubber sleeve Pathé co-produced these for a short wile
note: the second machine is not the model coq but the coq did come sometimes with the orpheus verite wire frame and witch-hat
