Help with Pathéphone Model 15

Post by DanP58 »

Good evening all, I recently acquired a Pathé model 15. I’m hoping someone has one that can show me a picture of the motor. I think the motor was changed out at some point, it works but I’d like to try and find out the original motor looked like and maybe try to find one . Any help would be greatly appreciated.. see pictures of motor and machine

maybe the casting P prefix is Pathé ? Iv'e only had 1 Pathé motor apart that was a single spring motor. Manufacturers changed designs year to year to dodge patent violations & to keep up with minor industry improvements. Any extra holes drilled through the motor board are a good indication that something has been altered.

There are a couple extra holes, that’s what made me think it was swapped out.

Yes you are right , I will certainly enjoy bringing it back to life and playing it, the extra holes have me curious though.
