Pathé and Vertical Cut Adaptor for Victrola

Post by CDBPDX »

I was digging through a box of parts I bought several months ago and discovered this adaptor that mounts on a Victrola tonearm and allows you to play lateral, vertical, and Pathé records using the Victor reproducer. I thought this was really cool. There are no identifying marks on it, only the words PATENTS PENDING. You can see and hear it play on YouTube:
