Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the clip, this has been viewed quite a bit now. Please like and subscribe if you can to see my other clips when they are posted.

La tête de lecture a été reconstruite avec un nouveau diaphragme en mica et un tube de joint. Il a été restauré à sa spécification d'origine et le stylet en saphir est un nouvel article de stock que j'ai acheté en France. La machine m'a également été expédiée au Royaume-Uni depuis la France

Thank you, I’m glad you liked the clip. Greetings to you in Chile from us here in the UK

These early ones are with copper bowls. They are quite scarce, nice that yours has a bit of wear and tear associated with it’s history.

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed the clip. These Pathes are very nifty performers, it’s a gook looking machine too. Thanks for viewing, please like and subscribe if you can to see my other clips as and when they become available.

@@Kevin-yi8fd thank you! It took a while to get it right which included sourcing an original replacement reproducer as the one it came with was a made up version. Also I had to source a new winding crank as that was not the correct piece either. All in all now it’s all in original correct condition.

Yes these machines were known as scheme machines as they locked the customer into buying the busy bee records and cylinders. These machines didn’t play the standard format products very often the machines were given away at a great discount or even free to encourage customers to enter into the sales scheme. Thanks for viewing. Hope you enjoy the clip and please like and subscribe if you can see my other clips as and when they come up.

@@chris1961grams how interesting!

I imported it from the USA via eBay. I’ve got the version by The Savoy Orpheans but they don’t sing all the verses as they probably thought they wouldn’t get it past the censors in the UK. I think the Irving Kaufman version is probably the best. A really hilarious record! The flipside Poor Papa is just as funny!

Yes, it’s very nifty and since this clip I’ve replaced the soundbox gaskets and sounds even better. Such a big sound but still have no info about this. Have you seen another example?

@@chris1961grams no, it's a new one to me

Muchas gracias! Gracias por verlo, por favor suscríbase si puede para ver nuevos clips cuando se publiquen.

A deluxe machine! Thanks for viewing

Many thanks! It’s a peppy number!!

Yes! Very little info available on this one. Thanks for viewing!

Nope, that’s how she sounded! I double checked the speed after I did the clip!!

@@chris1961grams It's great but it is slightly too fast. Remember the speed noted on these records can actually differ +/- slightly. compare this to other recordings of her.

@@johnshort963 nope, I checked the speed of the machine before I did the clip and it’s correct.

Many thanks! Enjoy the clips.

Thanks! It also has a Charlie Chaplin disc and a few others. A neat little gadget!

@@chris1961grams Nice little accessories to own!

Good question! I wonder if any of the experts out there know. This machine is in almost museum quality condition, I’ve not seen one as good as this so I’m very lucky to have it in the collection. They must’ve been quite an affordable in comparison to HMV portables and the like at the time but not many of them survived intact or complete. These hardly ever come up and seem to be ultra rare. Thanks for viewing, if you can please like and subscribe to see my clips as I post them.

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a very tidy original machine with a great sound. The clip doesn’t really do it justice! Thanks for viewing!

Les enregistrements doivent commencer par le milieu et utiliser uniquement un stylet saphir. Enregistrements Pathe uniquement !

@@chris1961grams merci, donc les disques qui commencent par l'extérieur sont pour quelle tête de lecture ?

@@loicdore39 Ils sont pour les disques de coupe latérale, tandis que les disques pathe sont pour les rainures de coupe verticales. Le lecteur Pathe est à 45° de l'enregistrement, c'est-à-dire à travers les rainures, tandis que la boîte de son latérale est en ligne avec les rainures.

This is a French made Pathe machine. IT IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL 78? Pathe was superior to 78s. ONE Vertical needle movement. TWO Actually NO needle, a small ball shaped sapphire semi permanent played a large groove. THREE played from center out to edge. FOUR rotational speeds were 90 rpm pt higher. (While when Pathe later made machines that could also play 78s, this one can't) This was was unfortunately 😭 played in a "live" echo room, if it were played in "studio" it would sound much better. As it is the orchestra backing and female voice reproduced better than any other process of the time, even Edison Diamond Disc.)

Thank you! It’s rather lovely!!

Yes, these little machines are so effective, it’s lovely to have such an early one in the collection. Thanks for viewing, please like and subscribe if you can to see other clips as and when I upload them.

Yes still going strong after all these years! Thanks for viewing. Please subscribe if you can’t see my other clips as and when I upload.

Many thanks! After all these years in the collection it’s finally looking as it should! Thanks for viewing and please subscribe if you can to see my other clips!

Many thanks! It is indeed very rare! I’m on the lookout for a Sterno needle tin now!

Many thanks! I’ve posted another clip of this machine after a very complicated soundbox restoration. See what you think!

Brilliant!

Thank you! Yes it’s very compact. I can only have small ones now as I’ve really run out of space!🤣

Many thanks, it’s very rare I think and small too!

Sorry none of my collection is for sale but please enjoy the clips

@@chris1961grams It is worth asking at least.

Great! Check out my other TH-cam clips. Like & Subscribe if you can

Unbelievably, the grooves are the standard gauge of a 78 rpm record. It is a playable item, but you need to have an adapter to fit onto a turntable. I think the playing duration is about 40 seconds! On the Internet there is an audio clip of one of these being played. Thanks for viewing., Please like and subscribe if you can to see my other clips.

100 rpm! That is such an interesting video, I don’t think I’ve actually seen one of these played! Thank you so much for posting

@@chris1961grams Glad you liked it, Chris. Incidentally, my wife and I are currently in Sydney, away from home, and I'm using Lena's Mac, which she bought with her. Hence her name is on my post.

Yes, to think Penrose made a career out of this! Thanks for viewing! Please subscribe to see my TH-cam videos when they come out!

Thanks! After so many years, it’s finally right. When I bought this machine, I didn’t really know much and it was so difficult to find out what was right and what wasn’t right. Now with the power of the Internet and experts across the world, it’s finally there! Thanks for viewing and your kind comment.

They are fairly noisy machines. Mine is and there is a degree of flutter, as well as the spring winds down. Best thing is to get them lubed up as much as possible and take into account that they are well over 100 years old!

Many thanks! Yes, Florence is a bit of a forgotten star these days!

Thanks Paul, it’s very rare to find these in such good condition, largely due to the materials used. This one must have been stored away in good conditions for many years.

Thank you,it’s rather good isn’t it,

@@chris1961grams better then a floor model

@@mariabarrientos7690 thank you! It’s quite nifty isn’t it!

Thanks for viewing! In the UK the usual route to find these machines is either auction houses or eBay. The problem at the moment is and has been for sometime is that the market is flooded with very poor reproduction machines made recently particularly in India. There are a few Facebook groups which are worth joining so you can ask for advice on machines that you might want to buy. My recommendation initially would be to acquire a HMV102 portable Gramophone, these are still in reasonable supply and are still excellent performers and a great start for someone wishing to play original 78 rpm records. You can expect to pay probably about £100 for a good example and up to £300 for one which is a coloured example. These typically come in red, blue and green. Happy hunting! Please like and subscribe to see my other clips where you will find a upload of an HMV 102.

Thank you! These are nifty little machines which sold very well in their time in the 20s. It’s surprising, therefore, that they don’t come up all that often now. This machine does particularly well with this record! Thanks for viewing, please like share and subscribe if you can to see other clips of my Gramophones Phonographs and Curio collection.

Yes there were all sorts of novelties available in the 1920s. Magnetic Dancers were popular (Known as Tango Two in the UK), this company also did dancing puppets which danced along with the record. These are even rarer, a couple of spring to mind are the Dancing Boxers and Ragtime Rastus.There are many reproductions available for all of these but the Magnetic Dancers that you see are all original.
