The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I had posted earlier in the British Machines Forum that I recently acquired a HMV 1A Automatic Gramophone- re-entrant (Orthophonic) (see photos. I was looking for a manual and was kindly provided a PDF scan of the manual by a fellow TMF member.

Now I am seeking historical information. So I looking for image scans of any of the 1928 to 1930 HMV Instrument catalogs containing information on the 1A. Also any public or Gramophone trade magazines advertisements.

Can anyone please help me with gathering this information?

Thanks in advance!

Boy that looks like one amazing machine-I wish I could help you with information but I have none to offer-You do know that it is listed in the HMV book by C.Proudfoot with some great pictures aad a bit of information?

A wonderful find and I would love to see it operate.
