*ĭon Whalen, one of the General Electric engineers, gave it the name "Panatrope". I found out that in 1925 the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Corporation teamed up with the General Electric Company and manufactured the all-electric phonograph. New wiring was updated to the present standard. Over-heat, thus prolonging the life of the motor. Because current-day receptacle voltage is 110-120 volts, a transformer was needed and was set at 105 volts so the motor does not So, the regulator then had to be adjusted to slow down These days, our electricity is delivered at 60 cycles and 110-120 volts. The electric motor is General Electric, model 27286, and it I brought the motor to Paul Rosen, who has been servicing my vintage radios since the 1990s. Now I know the reason that it came without a crank, though it has a crank escutcheon Inside with a rotor and the traditional regulator to control the speed. I was surprised to find an electric-driven motor When I got home, I was anxious to see if the motor was complete, because it came without a winding crank. The tone-arm, reproducer, turntable platter and all the hardware are either gold-plated or are of solid brass. I decided to buy it because it’s the prototype of my Victrola Orthophonic "Credenza",Īnd it’s also a pretty impressive piece of furniture. I recently acquired a Brunswick Panatrope "Cortez" Phonograph.
