Looking for an ID of this machine

Post by EdisonWizard »

Guy on a subreddit I made posted this machine asking for someone to tell him what make it is. I was stumped as I thought most of the players with the tone arm on the furthermost left side were Pathés or other vertical cut machines. And I couldn't place the brake and it also looks like it may have been painted. I asked for a picture of reproducer I'll post when I get it!

Looking at the brake, horn, and speed control dial, it looks either German or Swiss. Those tiny horn behind the doors are a dead give-away. Also the brake and speed control. I'm not sure who manufactured it. I'm not sure if the paint was factory, or added later. Interesting machine.

I once had a Parlophone portable with that style brake. Speed control and tone are were different, however.
