The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello, I wanted to buy a gramophone for a long time but didn't manage to find one to please me and fit my budget (I found at antiquites markets but very expensive).
A few days ago I spotted this one:

One the frontal plate is says Type 0231 n° 03298 right under Pathé.
Could you please give me more info about it? Like model, year, acoustic performances and price on the market (in order not to pay double).
Google didn't help me very much.
Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the board. I can't offer any help, but this may be better if it were posted in the "machines" part of the forum.

It looks like a frankenphone to me. A machine made up from parts of other machines.
The tonearm is certainly not that of a French Pathé open horn machine.

I would pass.. looks like horn and connection is not correct... that is a Pathé case.
