Sidewinder wrote:This is the Pathé Concert - Model D

This wound have been 375 francs as pictured or 425 with the matching base cabinet. I forgot to mention that with the exception of the Concert E which is one piece, others pictured could all be had for ~ 50 francs less without the matching base. I have no idea why the D would have been cheaper than the C???

Model A 225 Francs
Model B 300 Francs
Model C 500 Francs
Model D 425 Francs
Model E 850 Francs

Sidewinder, any chance you could show us some pictures of the interior of the D?

Why was the "D" cheaper than the "C"?

I think because the model C had a record storage compartment included under the motor (making it taller than the B or D)You can see the door to the compartment in the catalog picture below the double doors.

Here is the inside of the D with a 50 cm record.
