I mainly collect HMV and Edison phonographs, however I would like to add a Pathe disc machine to my collection. I don't know anything about the Pathe company and there seem to be so many models of phonograph to choose from. I have heard that some machines were very "showy" but cheaply made using weak and noisy motors. Has anybody got any thoughts or advise for a Pathe novice? I do like some of Pathes unusual features such as the Reflex horn system and the accelerated start lever. Cheers Richard.

Around A960000 the small reproducer tops went to pot metal and around B50000 the tops started to say T A Edison instead of Nat'l Phono Co. I have never seen a top above B99999.
