[Phono-L] Dave Heitz Collection

I think that the outside horn machine with the DD record may have  
been a Pathé.  They made a machine where the "tone arm" carried the  
stylus movements through a rod to a diaphragm placed further back and  
this tone arm seemed to be of that type.

Did anyone catch the 1-second glimpse of (what I'm assuming to be)  
the Poulsen Telegraphone? (turn of the century wire recorder).

What an astounding collection.  The cylinder record display alone  
would have been worth the price of admission.
