Re: Pathé
Congrats! I have a Model 75 and have enjoyed it. Like your machine, mine came with the lateral cut record adopter, but was missing the Pathé vertical cut reproducer. Got one, plus a new sapphire needle for it, from George Vollema and had him rebuild it before sending it.
And now you have a whole new area of collecting beckoning--vertical cut Pathé records. They come in all sorts of odd sizes (up to 20”, which won’t fit on my machine) and some of the older ones without paper labels ran at weird speeds. Some of the earliest ones started in the middle and moved out to the rim when played. They are a trip. You should be fine with the paper label American made ones though. They run at 80 rpm.
There is everything you might like to know, and more, in “Pathé Records and Phonographs in America, 1914-1922” by George Copeland and Ronald Dethlefson. I think it is still available, but is fairly expensive.

Thanks for the information, Clay. You are always quite helpful. I will be on the lookout for that book. It does look like it is still available. I have found some Pathé reproducers on ebay for a good price but someone mentioned the back should have a straight piece and not curvy so I want to be careful to get the right thing.
