It's not bad actually, equal or less than a Q. The box helps a lot. --- On Mon, 1/17/11, DanKj <ediso...@verizon.net> wrote:

And the little box is a nice bonus. How does the motor noise compare with a Q or a Gem ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "john robles" <john9...@pacbell.net> 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. http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/Pathe%20Coquet/ _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
