Description from the seller
VINTAGE A MASTERPIECE OF ENGINEERING AND SOUND
Experience the pure sound of the 1920s with a piece of phonographic history.
This is not the usual gramophone with a horn: the Pathé Diamond Diffusor is an avant-garde work of art. Instead of the classic bell, it uses a revolutionary cone-shaped diffuser made of special paper, designed to radiate sound 360° with remarkable fidelity for the era.
Why this piece is unique:
• Iconic Design: The large circular diffuser mounted vertically makes it an object of extraordinary visual impact.
• Era Technology: Original hand-crank mechanism, a symbol of an era when music was a mechanical and magical rite.
• For True Collectors: A rare model, difficult to find in this condition, produced by the prestigious French house Pathé.
• Noble Materials: Elegant solid wood cabinet that houses the pulsating heart of the mechanism.
Technical Details:
• Era: circa 1920.
• Playback: 78 rpm records.
• Operation: Hand-crank with internal spring.
• Conditions: "Tested and perfectly functional".
Dimensions:
Base (Cabinet): width 32 cm depth 39 cm
Base Height: 17 cm.
Total Height: In playback arrangement (with diffuser mounted), total height reaches about 65-80 cm.
Diffuser Diameter: The circular cone typically has a diameter between 35 and 45 cm.
The weight of a Pathé Diamond "Diffusor" gramophone of this type usually rests at around 8 kg.
Do not miss the chance to own a piece that changed the history of music.
Do not miss this masterpiece from the vinyl era!
