Deuxphone, Institut FüR

Deuxphone, Institut FüR An English record player, made by the Deuxphone Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Wolborough Street, Newton Abbot; notable for its capability of playing either disc or cylinder records. It was first advertised in Talking Machine News in October 1906, as the only player to handle both formats, and remained on the market a short time. A mandrel was fitted in the center of a turntable, and the whole machine had to be set on its side to put a cylinder in horizontal (playing) position.
