Gramophone PATHEPHONE n° 6 - 1908-1909

This is a nice and original Pathephone N.6 of the first series, production 1908-1909, with the push-pull brake starter; later (from about 1910) this starter became a leverage that also helped the gramophone to start by pulling it toward right.
Found in a flea market in Lille in 2006.

It's the famous soprano Jane Merey singing la Valse Rose. Amazing high Eflat subito at 2:39. She got her beautiful technique from Rosine Laborde and Carlotta Patti, 2 XIXth century legendary singers.

[@stclairstclair]

No one seems to notice that the sound box on this unit is facing the groves on the record and not turned at a 90% angle, It's because the groves in this record are cut "up and down" not "left and right" like a modern record.

[@TerryMcKean]

Yep... the "hill and dale" modulation ...that machine will play Edison records nicely, too.

[@dementedgamer0810]

Look at that 78 rpm!

[@bobskie321]

0:40 The way reproducer is mounted it appears it's intended for vertically cut grooves.

[@HMV101]

bobskie321 All Pathé Centre-start discs and all but the late rim-start types had vertically (hill & dale) modulated grooves. This was a way of circumnavigating the Berliner disc patents owned by The Gramophone Company.

What's your suggestion on purchasing these machines I have some 78 rpm vinyls that I want to play. Please respond asap, also are the portable ones are good too?

[@RecordCollector96]

1- 78s are not made of vinyl, they are made of shellac. 2- This machine will only play vertical cut records. They will not play regular lateral cut 78s. 3- Portable wind-up phonographs, you mean? They are fine for listening to 78s; however, I recommend playing them back electrically on a turntable hooked up to an amplifier.

[@Jasongy827]

So with that, what is a vertical and lateral cut? I don't really understand. How do I hook up my 34/48 rpm electronic record player to play my 78 rpm? What is Shellac? I apologize for asking so many questions.

[@RecordCollector96]

Armani Nguon 1- Lateral cut means the stylus rides in the record grooves side-to-side. Vertical cut means the stylus rides the grooves of the record up and down. 2- There's not a 78rpm option? 3- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac

[@markostermayer3614]

Armani Nguon most players will have a 78 option and if not you're just out of luck and would need a new player. Shellac records are very fragile as well and break very easily, more so than glass. If you drop one it's usually gone forever. Edison and pathe records require special players. However, if you don't really look most of what you will find is 40s big band and country records, at least in my experience. I don't collect those and really go out of my way to find early ones, so pathe and edisons shouldn't usually come your way. However if they do NEVER play them on a regular victrola. Most 78s don't play from the inside out either. These are just rare ones from the 1900s and early 1910s

[@neivofrede]

Olá! O disco Pathé precisa ser reproduzido somente com agulha de ponta especial (safira) ou aceita também a agulha comum de metal? Um grande abraço

[@lucamariaolgiati3297]

Com safira.

[@digidoridvideos3672]

Pathe records can be played with a steel needle somewhat. but, you need to turn the soundbox facing forward like pathe, so it doesn't ruin it. Try it at your own risk.

[@digidoridvideos3672]

Also, you can put candle wax on the record while it's spinning to reduce wear, I already tried it. but, it does the job.

[@lorenzosbrissa1574]

Why on this particular record is it starting where a typical record usually ends?

[@MisterTalkingMachine]

Back when this record was made there wasn't really an agreed upon standard that everyone followed, and Pathé was particularly deviant. Their records would be cut vertically and also start at the centre of the record, and that's just scratching the surface of the weird products they made.

[@landioferreira6444]

[@mithrasenkidu9423]

Can you play this kind of records on a current turntable? I wonder.

[@notthatyouasked6656]

There are multiple problems playing these on a modern turntable. First, these inside start Pathe records play at 90 or more rpm; some go as high as 120! Second, the grooves are vertically cut. This is OK, because cross wiring the cartridge and playing in mono will work fairly well. The real problem is that the grooves are both wide and relatively flat. The sound box shown in the video uses a sapphire stylus in the shape of a wide, round ball, and that works well enough to sit in the groove and fill it. You could possibly make a modern stylus to do this but it would be challenging. The grooves are so shallow that even vintage equipment designed to play them will skate across the record if the playing surface is not perfectly level.

[@mithrasenkidu9423]

@@notthatyouasked6656 Hi! Thank you very much for your reply! Since I posted my question I could experienced it by myself after buying two Pathé Saphyr records and trying to play one of them on my modern turntable. It has been a real failure! Indeed, the needle of the turntable kept sliding on the record, so I didn't play the other one. Later I've found on Instagram a 78 rpm/shellac records community in which people gave me advices and, indeed, playing this kind of records on a modern basic turntable can damage these records. So now I'm saving to buy a much better material.

[@notthatyouasked6656]

@@mithrasenkidu9423 It's not likely that you would damage them on a modern turntable with just a few grams tracking weight. You might want to also check out the Talking Machine Forum on the web, also the Antique Phonograph Society's forum. Nice people there will be happy to give you advice on how you can play your records properly. Happy collecting!

its not a vinyl, its a pathe record from 1910 circa, the groove are vertical not lateral, and it can only be played by a pathe machine
