Early disc coin op machine

[Sidewinder]

I think its very interesting - the reproducer tracks across the record, and its coin operated. Would like to find out more about it. Obviously had some sort of glass dome originally. Many thanks

Fascinating. Where did the machine turn up? Which part of the world?

The feedscrew could be an attempt to circumvent Berliner patents in the USA which probably wouldn’t have been necessary in Europe on a disc machine.

Early long throat reproducer reminiscent of the Clark Johnson and a threaded spindle for clamping plate. Indeed very interesting.

Thanks for the comments. Found in USA

Is it a home-built I wonder.
The tracking is terrible, as can easily be seen from the top view.
