Edison Bell Duplex

[GeorgeDixon]

I am seeking information on this machine?
Does anyone have one and is it complete?
Also, any photos or literature would be great.
Thank you, Ben

Thanks. Jean-Paul's is a Bell Concert Duplex...
The one I presented is a Edison Bell Duplex Grand...some similarities, but different. Thanks, Ben

It is the same photo. I used this one as it is complete and mine is not, yet...

This was manufactured by the Paillard Company of Switzerland. Paillard marketed it as a "Theatrophone". There were two models , I have an original Paillard catalogue for 1902/1903 which details it. Edison - Bell were for a while sole agents in UK , probably until their sales monopoly expired during 1902 , and when offered through them or their agents was marketed as a " Combination Grand " or " Duplex Grand ". The Edison - Bell " Duplex " or " New Duplex "is a different machine . Examples of Edison - Bell marketed Theatrophones do turn up from time to time, as do examples branded " Theatrophone "--- I have seen perhaps six or more over the years , but fairly rare .Dulcetto

Ben,

Does yours have the Bruckner Patent adjuster that sets the reproducer to the correct Mandrel?

Ben,

Not currently, but I am working on getting one.
I hope to have it completed in a few months time.

Do you have an example of the adjuster on any of your machines?
