Скачать или смотреть International gramophone pickup 1929 ish

Beautifully constructed Gramophone pickup marked "International". From the heavily Nickel plated, pressed brass construction, this Pickup appears to be of German origin. Produced only a decade or so after the end of WW1 , the Brit's were still consumed by ill feelings towards the German Nation & any products coming from this recent enemy had to be carefully badged if any buyers were to be found for them in the U.K
A lot of effort has gone into the design of this unit which closely resembles the well known B.T.H "Cliftophone" pickup also from the end of the 1920's. Similarities include a pull off removeable head & a counter balancing internal spring but lacks the adjustable tonearm system on the B.T.H model. Internally the International is on-par with the V form magnet pickup from Marconi, with a very finely made armature / coil assembly & with every component highly finished, which is not the norm for this early electric period of home Audio. The rubber damping system is well designed & very adjustable & also logical to adjust for the first time, again, not the norm for this era. In summary, a really great find & is the only Pickup Iv'e so far encountered that went to the trouble of having the Logo made with a Genuine Glass Enamel technique. Sounds as good as it looks
