I had never seen the manual for one, so thank you for posting that.
Nor have I. It looks as though it may have been used with all the panatrope models rather than just for the Cortez though.

I've thought so for awhile now too, contrary to the oft repeated yarn about speeds becoming standard at the beginning of the electrical era in 1925-26.

I have always wanted a Cortez in my collection and so I envy you for finding yours. It looks beautiful and worth preserving for future generations. I have read that the Cortez sounds quite close to the Victor Credenza. Congratulations. :mrgreen:
