Early Childrens Gramophone possibly German "Saphon"??? unmarked

Post by herrickpickups »

was given this today, looks German, is the "S" on the soundbox for the company Saphon ? it has a simple tinplate motor, a reasonable looking soundbox (for a toy) with a Mica diaphragm. The turntable has a flocked surface like Action man's hair , Size, around 18cm x 20cm
there's a piece on the Governor that has become detached but it looks like it might work if a key can be made up to fit the square form shaft.
