[78-L] 20" Pathe, yours for only 5 grand!

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

These 16" Vertical Groove Pathe records were from the early 1920's, designed to play at very high speed (120 rpm) I believe, and thus create the louder sound necessary to play in dance halls, or large auditoriums. They were advertised to play only on a Pathe Concert Actuelle Phonograph. I have only seen photos of a Concert Actuelle Phonograph, but I have heard that there is actually one that exists and owned by someone in the New York area. You can also play these records on a more modern Transcription Turntable.

Fascinating! (to quote Mr. Spock). I have never seem such a thing. What 
is this intended for originally? And what would be an aprx. date?
