That's not a Grand/Concert - size cylinder machine anyway. It plays "Inter" sized cylinders offered only in Europe.

Also, it's a Pathé, marketed by Girard as opposed to made by them.
It would be tough to find the right horn for that, and the governor might be challenging since one spring is broken and the ball missing, so all 3 would need replacing so that the spring tension and ball weight match.

No apology necessary.
This is a great forum to learn new things. I've been in the hobby over 50 years but I'm still learning on almost a daily basis.

I hope you feel better about letting it get away after reading what the other guys said. Don't worry. Union is a great place to spend money. You will find something and you will be able to inspect it carefully. A friend bought a German cylinder machine there a few years ago that needed a few parts. We spent the afternoon rummaging around and found what he needed! It was so much fun. I like helping other people spend money too.

I definitely do feel much better about it, yes.
