My 20 inch Pathé Concert discs state a speed range of 120 to 130 revolutions per minute, so we can extend the maximum rpm in the list!

Here is an example of a 50 mm disc being played at about 120 rpm on a Pathé instrument. Unfortunately, the main drive spring was a little weak and broke soon after this recording was made ! We have yet find a replacement---if anyone can help with a source for this extra large 43 mm item, we should be most grateful.
