Up for a small "test" during the holiday season?
Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2019 3:47 pm
I yesterday collected another "poor baby" gramophone, left alone for decades..and paid 20 euro for it. I know myself the name of manufacturer, but...have yet not been able to find out the name of the model, or even been able to find a similar model on photos online, after a few hours googling. I am consider uploading some photos in this thread, and cover the manufacturer's name, and see if you guys/gals(?) are able to impress me once more...
It is a all wooden portable, it definitely has to be very old, one of the first internal horn portables, would be my humble guess. I dont dare to open the motor yet, since I never opened the motor on a similar machine, but can show you photos of everything else. You maybe even can tell me how to open the motor safely. It runs, the crank/handle is there, but the sound box is during its lifespan obviously been changed, and is not really revealing the manufacturer of the gramophone, at least not of what I know, at the time of writing.
So the question remains..if you want to see it?
