Hi all
Here is the newest machine I have acquired, purchased before Christmas. Had I
known the expenses I would run into with my dog, I might have waited...
It is a Pathe Coquet, a French machine from about 1905 or so. It is small, the
size of a Columbia AA, very cute. It is made of walnut, which is a nice change
from oak. The reproducer had been cobbled together with rubber cement instead
of proper gaskets, and the sapphire is broken. I have a new sapphire and
gaskets and diaphragm on order. I had to use GooGone and a dental implement to
clean the gunk off the reproducer; see the before/after picture. Here is a link
to the photos.
