This HMV tabletop machine looks decidedly suspect to my inexperienced eyes. Poor quality wood and woodwork and finishing. Poor quality metal work.
Am I wrong in my suspicions?
Steep price tag at $950 Canadian.

It's just one of those crappy repro's from India, I contacted the seller and told him so.

That's the "guru" who wrecked an Edison Opera on the otherwise excellent British TV show "The Repair Shop".JeffR1 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 8:31 pm
