Re: EMG Mk VII
99% of those that can be found here are unimpressive polkas or cheesy waltzes that even my granny considered "stuff for nostalgics" decades ago.

Re: EMG Mk VII
Apart from the EMG cork mat, which appears to be separate, the turntable looks remarkably like an HMV Is it? And is it known when EMG supplied the cork mat? Frank's book shows, tantalisingly, and undated advertisement for EMG (on page 42) which describes the EMG turntable, fitted at that time to 'all models'. The only models listed were the Standard Wilson Horn and the Mark X. Sure enough, my Mark X has an EMG turntable on its Paillard motor, a very heavy casting with a built in cork mat.

Re: EMG Mk VII
If I could find piano solos, polkas or waltzes, I'd be tickled. Lots of my listening is of a 1910s-1920s style anyway.

Re: EMG Mk VII
Yes, the cork mat is separate. The Mk VII's turntable is pressed steel, I imagine an original fitment to the motor which I believe is Paillard (but I haven't confirmed that yet). I've never seen one of those cast EMG turntables - many thanks for the photos!Oedipus wrote:Apart from the EMG cork mat, which appears to be separate, the turntable looks remarkably like an HMV Is it?

Thanks for drawing attention to that advert on page 42, which I find I hadn't noticed before - EMGs in kit form! Fascinating!
