Re: Pathé info?
I actually just got one of these myself and I'm trying to make sure I understand show to properly play the vertical cut Pathé records. Does anybody know of a good source for a stylus to play the vertical cut records with?

There is a YouTube user called EvilCakeFairy who has a Pathé VII shown playing both vertical and lateral records. Here's a playlist:

The sapphire Pathé stylus is available from all the usual parts suppliers and also various sellers on ebay. You can also get a separate diamond stylus to play Edison Diamond Discs, but these generally do not give good results.
