Hi Guys: I seem to have acquired a Model 30 Micro Perophone gramophone. It was given to me by a friend, who found it in a house he'd bought. He's moving and didn't want to take it with him. It would appear to play very well, although the arm was seized up and wouldn't raise and lower where it should have, but was useable as the soldered join had come adrift! Now I've unsiezed the arm swivel thread and resoldered same.
It has the Garrard deck with the auto stop feature (twin motor?), balance weighted arm, 3 little swivel top compartments for needles etc.
It could do with a little restoration, but is generally very sound, with no woodworm in the cabinet.
Now, I already have a nice little HMV with a big brass horn so I haven't the room for such a large piece, so I was wondering if anybody would be interested in purchasing it?
I'm open to offers, as I haven't a clue what it's worth, but I'm more concerned that it goes to the right home, than its value.
I'll do some photos, hopefully!
Where are you located?
Roger.
