 9.5 was where I started in the 1960's. I've always been interested mainly in the sound side, but on the other hand I have an ongoing affection for the Pathé Baby. At present, I have about 30, tho' many are in an advanced state of decay. Here is the list of topics you can click on.

 1. 9.5 Sound

      My years spent trying to improve the quality of 9.5 sound, and some of the many efforts to convert

     9.5 silent machines to sound.
