The last picture I posted is the forewords by Otto Hebron to his catalog. I like this man and his principles: ”Trough these horns the irksome chalshing is entirely out of question.” (spoken with a heavy german accent)
I also totally sympathise with: ”The elbows of all my machines are not made of zinc-plate with seam...” My Union 62 has one of these flimsy and totally rubbish zinc-plate elbows! :roll:

Here are a few pictures of mine
The horn is not the original- it was a green flower horn, very much rust eaten.
The tone arm and horn elbow of mine are metal stampings welded together & badly pitted from rust. The back bracket is in nice shape, ALL of the metal was painted with radiator paint of which many traces remain
The machine was originally sold in Belgium.
