pathéphone 31 with curious governor

Post by vorbeste »

probably hungarian made. i cant find this kind of case in Pathé' catalogs. the motor with 35 mm spring, the governator with only 1 central screw spring. is it a common variety?

Very nice condition! That must be an unusual model, because I look for Pathé machines and have never seen that one before. The cabinet is very distinctive, and the reproducer is slightly different from most that I have seen. The motor is very typical of Pathé, except for the governor. I have NEVER seen a phonograph governor that looks like that. :shock:
