The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello,
Can someone who knows more about this British machine answer a question for me. Where the tone arm attaches to the front of the back bracket there appears to be a nut and clamp type arrangement. Is this correct or has it been repaired at some time??
thanks
Pete

This looks more like an Odeon ie German.

Dulcephone / Dulcetto usually had the name cast on the horn support. I presume you are reading the name off the soundbox?

Could you maybe post a pic of the motor?

I checked my literature. Your machine is definitely Odeon. The dual clip to attach the horn to the bracket is correct.

Hi US Phono,
This machine is listed for sale in my area. I was interested in it but have been unable to find any pictures on the internet to compare it to. It was first offered for sale at $900, then slowly came down in price. The fellow is now asking $600.00 The seller is calling it a Dulcephone but you say it might be a German machine. Does it appear to you to be all original.
thanks
Pete

Hi,
I just found this image of an Odeon Gramophone on the internet. It was one that Howard Hope from the U.K. had. It has a different horn but the cabinet sure looks the same!
