THE PICTURES ARE NOT VERY GOOD, SHADING FROM LIGHT AND COLOR OFF. CAMERA PICTURES NOT AS GOOD AS THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE. I HAVE TO TAKE SOME NEW PICTURES BECAUSE THE TOP DOESNOT LOOK LIKE THAT. ITS A LITTLE DARKER BUT NOT LIKE IT SHOWS IN THE PICTURES.NEW PICTURES 9 AND 10 , THE LAST TWO AFTER THE REPRODUCER PICTURE ARE BETTER SO YOU CAN SEE THE TOP MORE CLEARLY.NOTE: SHIPPING CALCULATOR IS WRONG QUITE OFTEN SO DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE WITH THE CORRECT SHIPPING COST TO YOUR LOCATION. IN SOME CASES IT COULD BE LESS AND IN SOME CASES IT COULD BE MORE....??
1903 PATHE LE COQ CYLINDER PHONOGRAPH,MADE IN FRANCE. PLAYS STANDARD 2 MINUTE CYLINDERS. REVERSIBLE CASE SO YOU TAKE THE HORN OFF AND THE LID TURNS OVER AND STORES THE MACHINE INSIDE THE BOX. RARE IN THIS CONDITION,THEY USUALLY ARE FULL OF WOODWORM HOLES. NOT THIS ONE,IT\'S PRETTY NICE FOR ITS AGE. IT DOES HAVE A FEW CRACKS IN THE LID AND A FEW AGE MARKS BUT ALL IN ALL GOOD FOR 121 YEARS OLD. THIS MACHINE HAS BEEN RESTORED AND THE REPRODUCER HAS A NEW SAPHIRE STYLUS. THIS MACHINE IS PART OF MY COLLECTION. HAVE TOO MANY SO I HAVE TO SELL A FEW. YOU CAN PAINT THE HORN BLACK IF YOU WANT OR LEAVE IT AS IS.
NOTE: BUT REMEMBER TO NEVER CARRY AN OLD PHONOGRAPH BY THE HANDLE BECAUSE IT CAN COME UNHOOKED AND DROP OFF AND SMASH. THE MACHINE PLAYS LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A NICE QUIET RUNNING MOTOR. NOT MUCH MORE I CAN SAY,YOU CAN SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE MACHINE AND BOX ARE. CLEANED UP WITH ORIGINAL FINISH. I DON\'T BELIEVE IN STRIPPING OFF THE FINISH THAT HAS BEEN ON THE WOOD FOR 121 YEARS AND MAKING IT NEW,IT\'S JUST WRONG. IT IS NOT THAT BAD,IT\'S 121 YEARS AND I FEEL THAT GIVES IT CHARACTER AND IS PART OF ITS BEAUTY . THE HORN AND KEY ARE REPRO\'S BUT EXCELLENT COPIES. UNFORTUNATELY ABOUT 9 OUT OF 10 OF THESE ARE MISSING THESE 2 PARTS.
THE PICTURES ARE HI DEF SO ZOOM IN AND EXAMINE IT UP CLOSE.SORRY BECAUSE OF DISHONEST PEOPLE IN THE PAST I HAVE TO LIMIT SHIPPING TO CANADA AND THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ONLY. BUT NO P.O.

AND HUMIDITY CAN BOTHER THEM.BECAUSE OF AGE IT HAS TO BE SOLD AS IS
