Pathé Actuelle: Pros and Cons

Whilst on here - I will just show off my NON Actuelle, if I may, after all I had to have something to play my 50cm discs on

Hi folks, these links may well take you to some more videos of my Actuelle. Still experimenting with this site, but enjoying the friendly comments!

Thanks for those. Out of nosiness, (a) who sings Un Bel Di? (b) That appears to be another Pathé machine visible to the left of the Actuelle. What is it?

Nice machine! Which model is it? Will it get through a full 20" side on a winding, or do you need to do touch-ups?

[Paul M]

Many thanks. It is a Pathé "Concert" modele A and I'm proud to say that 45 "winds" will comfortably play a 50cm disc, with some to spare. I have not wound it fully up yet, and to date have not really needed to. I WILL post a video at some point. Thanks for the interest.

Marvelous, thanks.
Have you tried to play standard 78s?
