what a strange looking Machine but very cool would love to see how it works....the record is great also

@Westtoledoguy I'll make a video about the machine. It's a bizarre design--the stylus' vibrations cause a rod inside the tone arm to vibrate; that, in turn, is attached to the cone speaker at the back. The machine could play either vertical (Pathe) or Victor (lateral-cut) records.

Good one! Your machine looks exactly like mine.
