Mahogany Pathé Actuelle - SOLD
Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2011 7:13 pm
Here's a very nice Pathé Actuelle in mahogany.
Motor runs great. Auto brake needs a little adjustment if you intend to use it, but it's all there - no missing pieces.
Turntable felt is an older replacement - if I was going to keep this machine I'd replace it, as it's a bit worn.
The cone was re-coned about a year ago by Buford Chidester, one of the leading experts on radio cones - Buford did a great job, and this sounds great.
The cabinet is in very nice condition, as you can see in the pics. However, someone (not me!) put a clear coat of some sort on it. It doesn't look bad - it's just not "original", and to a collectors eyes it's definitely "off".
Comes with a photocopy of the original instruction manual.
Asking $450.00
