That's one gorgeous Model M Classique! I like how the upperback is curved to send out the sound. Is this the same exact machine that's mentioned as the only one known to exist in the Copeland and Dethlefson book on Pathés?

I'm not familiar with the book you mention.

Actually I haven't been able to find anything on this machine. Is this machine described in the Copeland and Dethlefson book? Thanks

Bill,

Here's photos of the cover and the pages on the Model M & O. I was very wrong in that yours is not the Model M. The upper doors are very similar. Doesn't yours have an ID plate stating the model?

Thanks much for that info Victrola-Monkey. No model is indicated on the factory tag just the Pathé Actuelle Classique, serial number, etc. My cabinet (appears to have never been messed with) appears identical to the Model "O" pictured in your catalog. Again appreciate the info Cheers
