The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Aside from that soundbox everything else looks good

I wonder how it would sound playing indistructables? Granted it would wear the hell out of them but even so.

It might work with a Pathé stylus...

As I recall, that particular reproducer was only used on the AW. (The only surviving fragment of the second Multiplex Grand also used that).

Speaking of which, are there any photos of the Multiplex Grand?
