9.5

9.5

 

 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. Here is the list of topics you can click on.

 1. 9.5 Sound (with its own sub-index)

  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. 

 2. 9.5 Silent (with its own sub-index)

  Baby projector collections, equipment and catalogues (French and English); Coq D'Or, Lux, H, Duplex, Toy Projectors, Camjectors and various 9.5

  silent machines that are as yet without their own pages.

 3. French Bits

  I got from the late Dave Wyatt some reprints of French 9.5 magazine articles,

  about stencil colour etc., reproduced here in translation.

4. 9.5 Miscellany

  A home for odd bits.

  An economy 9.5 tape splicer

  Notes on the Pax main pulley
