Your Edison Diamond DIsc Phonograph "Chippendale" Model C-19 is missing it's dataplate. The dataplate would indicate the model and serial number for the machine. I can't tell from your photos whether or not there are the 2 small screw holes present where that metal identification plate was located. I applied a red circle to your photo showing where this would have been. Further, the round gold colored Official Laboratory Model medallion would have been applied on the wood trim piece that surrounds the turntable assembly in the left hand corner. Here's a couple of photos to illustrate: Here's a photo of a typical C 19 dataplate and medallion in situ:

She has help as well. Most of the collection has been auctioned off, and some of those records commanded some rather high prices. I was fortunate enough to buy this records outside of the auction. As, they are selling some items as a Buy It Now. Make sure to create an account, as well as sign up for the, News Letter. As Lou the gentleman helping Susana, Joe’s daughter help sell Joe’s records. They are taking a month off, but will be back in December. The records, are going fast. Also, make sure to have a credit card when you set up your account. To participate in the auction. Blues and Jazz go fast, not so much Country or Gospel.

When Pathé introduced the Actuelle in 1919, they designed an automatic stop specially for it. Pathe' tried adapting that auto-stop design into their traditional mica diaphragm machines. These instructions are for post 1918 universal style reproducer Pathés equipped with the Actuelle automatic stop.

Wow! Studying the gear train closely, I believe I can see how that could happen, but it's nothing you would expect could be the case. I can't imagine the leadscrew gears could have meshed, and I'm surprised that the drive gear for the pulley did.

So, last post this evening. These two gears were installed in the opposite positions from what you see now (upper in lower and vice versa) and that caused the machine to run backwards. I just needed a working one to show me the error. I put them back the way they should be and tomorrow when I reinstall the spring, I’m betting it will run correctly. Glad to know (or at least suspect) I haven’t lost my mind. Whoever worked on this motor prior to me had swapped these two particular's gears, causing the issue. Hopefully solved, Matt

Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I didn't know what was happening with his collection. I'll have to keep an eye on that website. Looks like she'll probably be working on parting this out for some time, judging from what his basement wall looked like!

John, Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to an external horn, not the Decca internal horn, which should have been obvious...

hello! Curt... Thank you for your interest in my "Decca" Machine... To be fair it is impossible for me to do as you ask, since it would involve dismantling the Gramophone... (My description of it's features have come direct from "Information" about this "Rare" Model, that I gleaned from the Internet shortly after I aqquired her!...) I hope this helps, Kind Regards, John....
