It was bought in 1927, The device its from my grandmather and it was given to her by his father.

In the metal plaque says Panatrope Exponential Type 14-7 270622

The measures are 102cmx54cmx52cm

Thank you very much, and im relly looking forward for your answers.

You've just about said it all in your posting. This is a 1927 Brunswick Panatrope, model 14-7. It was originally called 'The Florida." It cost $160 when brand new. I have one that I recently bought for over $1,000. (that amount includes shipping!)
This is a wonderful machine, and in my opinion, outperforms the Orthophonic Victrola models of same size.

where can I buy needles for the Brunswick Panatrope?

If it's an all-acoustic model, like the one described above, you can buy steel needles from a number of suppliers.

Here are a couple of places that sell them:

http://www.btinternet.com/~bill78/needles.htm

As you can see, prices vary widely.

To find more sellers, copy and paste the following into Google's search box:

Steel Needles Victrola OR gramophone OR Phonograph OR "record player"

Keep in mind, a steel needle can be used only to play ONE side of ONE record. You may be able to play two sides of a 10-inch record without damaging it, but more than that is asking for trouble.

Hope this helps.
