There are so many machines I love on EBay in Europe BUT the shipping cost always kills my dream of owning one :( Like this Pathéphone Reflex 15 currently listed on EBay. Plus going through customs scares me.....

You've put together a fine collection for one so very young. I probably had a few more machines when I was your age, but that was forty years ago, when many of these interesting mechanisms were still viewed as junk. Your collection is all the more impressive in that it has been assembled in Continental Europe, where quality talking machines are thin on the ground compared to the mass numbers available in the United States.

Thanks for sharing the photos of rare machine which are seldom found in the Western hemisphere.
