  • Notes
  • A large Swiss machine with a complex pick-up arm, capable of playing records both vertically and laterally incised. The different "reproducers" were attached to the end of the arm with a bayonet joint, like the system used in modern, high fidelity pick-up arms.

    Grande macchina Svizzera dotata di un sofisticato braccio che permetteva l'ascolto ottimale sia di dischi a incisione laterale che verticale. I differenti "riproduttori" venivano fissati alla parte terminale del braccio con un innesto a baionetta: esattamento come nei moderni bracci ad alta fedeltà.
