I have a Pathé Model 60 tabletop.
I have seen the model 50 Pathé tabletop phonograph in brochures and catalogs, but have never seen a Model 60. Would any fellow collectors be familiar with the Model 60. The plate has a serial number #1509
Any info would help.

I also found this one as the Pathé Model 12 (scroll to about middle of their page)

I wonder if Pathé made models and just slapped plates on them?????

I have a model VI that looks similar as well. Maybe they made just one of each model and differentiated them by the orientation of the grille
(Is my grille upside down or is yours????).
I recall learning sometime in the past that a lot of the Pathé' machines in the US were just Pathé' hardware mounted in American manufactured cabinets. It was cheaper to import the parts than complete machines.
Sorry for the poor picture quality. The one was buried in the "project machine" pile and it was hard to get to.
