Need an Education-- Strange Reproducer. Thanks

Post by outune »

This recently sold on Ebay--- Anyone know what it is? Apparently at least two folks had an idea-- it sold for $688.
Certainly a new one on me...

Looks like an Automatic mounted on a "winged" C... but for what purpose?? Automatic weight has the shape of a Mobley, but no markings. I'm curious.

Has 2 diaphragms & the brass needle bar is working both of them in a strange push-pull arrangement. This has to be some kind of early setup for a double-horn machine.

It a takeoff of a Polyphone but on a regular carriage. Trying to get the sound of a Polyphone without having a Polyphone carriage,
