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

So same story as a 20" Pathe.

I believe I have seen a video of a contemporary machine playing a 20" 
Pathe on youtube.

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.
