Deuxphone

[BenL]

I'm bringing these images over from a TMF post. (It's too cool not to share.)

I know of the Devineau Biophone, which allowed an Edison cylinder machine to be converted to play discs. But I did not know there was a disc machine that could be converted to play cylinders! 

It was listed on a French classified site. Though the listing is over, and the link is dead:( https://www.leboncoin.fr/collection/2628601518.htm)

Ever since I read about the Deuxphone in V.K. Chew's Talking Machines in 1973, I've wondered if any exist.
