This Dictaphone was distributed by the Dictaphone Co (Aus) Ltd, 19 Hunter Street, Sydney, and is plated as such. I found an original advertisement below.
It came with wax 5 cylinders, although only 1 is complete. I have cleaned it since taking these photos, now I just have to find somewhere to put it :)
See you tomorrow with part 4 :)

What an amazing contraption ! The pipe reminds me of a hoover pipe, incredible to think it has survived all these years.

Hi Ann, Its amazing isn't it, it should probably be in a museum one day, although my house already resembles one :) Maybe I should charge an admission fee...he he
Your finds never fail to amaze me :0
I didn't expect it to be so big I'm sure you will find a use for it somewhere

HA! That is one big machine! Neat! In such great condition too!! Great find!
That's amazing. But as someone who transcribes audio files, I'm glad things have gotten a lot smaller since then!
Thanks guys for stopping by, and your sweet comments :) Tamara
