Bruce, you're not trying to find matching serial numbers again, are you?Valecnik wrote:I wonder why your pictures won't enlarge? That's a bit annoying
The HMV 103 was only fitted with a cheap single spring motor so I wonder if your machine, Bruce, also had that one fitted to it? They are somewhat notorious for barely getting through one side of a record. The HMV 109 had the Victor 2-spring type - No. 32. and no such problems. The same motor / model matching continued through to the later No. 5 soundbox models, the 104 (cheap single spring motor) and 130 (No. 32 double-spring)
