Post by Curt A »

I'm scratching my head trying to identify this reproducer... Any ideas?

Looks like a lateral sound box for an early Pathé. I've seen a few versions of these, but I don't know which firm manufactured this one.

Here is a Pathé "New Progress" with both lateral and Pathé vertical adaptors. It is pictured with both attachments (although not the machine shown here) in Discovering Antique Phonographs 1877-1929 PG. 170 authored by Fabrizio and Paul.
