My first Talking Machine

Post by Glenn46 »

Hello everybody.
I'm a new member from Belgium and new to this hobby.
And this is my first and hopefully not the last machine in my collection.
So, any info is much appreciated.
Thanks for your interest.

Welcome to the forum and welcome to this addictive hobby. Unfortunately I cannot tell you anything about your machine aside from that it I love the design :)

Good luck
Andreas

Welcome to the Forum.

I cannot identify your machine either, but the soundbox is a Thorens. The motor and other mechanical components may also be by Thorens.

During the inter-war period many manufacturers built gramophone cabinets and fitted them with bought in components, often by Thorens or Paillard. Your machine may well be one of these "assembled" gramophones.

The speed coontrol looks typical of a Garrard mechanism rather than a Thorens one which may mean it is a UK machine . it would be interesting to see a picture of the motor
