A UK dealer has this extraordinary soundbox for sale. I have never seen another one like it.

The second chuck is an add-on accessory piece that clamps onto a standard Exhibition. Therefore, there's nothing special about the reproducer itself, except that it's fitted with this accessory. All that said, very unusual and very interesting!!

Re: Exhibition soundbox with twin needle chuck.
John Sleep has had that for sale on his website for a long time, and I've looked at it with great interest on a number of occasions. I'm grateful to have it pointed out that it's an accessory and not an unusual soundbox - it's immediately obvious when pointed out, with the block's fixing screw clearly visible, but I hadn't spotted that at all!
