Anyone here just have bad luck getting a certain machine?

Can’t let it go. The dash pots are pneumatic. Congratulations on the new machine. Is it all that you hoped for?

Sorry about that... did an oopsie there... And For a nice manual floor model. Yes!

Congratulations! for a long wish accomplished! Enjoy it!
I usually play my records on an HMV194, and that was an unexpected finding, also after a loooong wish to have a huge ortho machine. This one fulfills the best listening expectations (leaving apart the EMGs and Experts ...)
I hope I finally could see and listen to one of those for the first time, this October at Malvern UK; the one owned by the CLPGS, if it is going to be there, which I expect...

Those European HMV and EMG machines are nice. But here in the USA, when it comes to non changer machines you can’t beat one of these.

Well I tried plugging it in with an extension cord and I guess it doesn’t like my extension cord because I got nothing. Forgive me, I’m a bit of a dummy when it comes to these early electric motors. Am I doing something wrong?

Judging by your Youtube post, you resolved your cord issue. I'm glad you finally got a Credenza. I remember my own excitement when I finally got one many years ago after dreaming about for ages.

Yeah, the cord to the back and the turntable just wasn’t plugged in. I haven’t tried my semi-rebuilt soundbox on it but it should boost the sound even more.

BTW, What do you think about this method of sealing the horn?
