HMV Model 113 on UK eBay

Post by epigramophone »

There is nothing like a successful eBay sale such as the recent HMV Model 114 to bring similar items out of the woodwork (no pun intended) so now we have the mighty "Transportable" Model 113, a table model by any other name although it does have a carrying handle. Originally costing 180 Rupees, what will it make in 2017?

This 113 has been tampered with: the external handle is not original, it should be on the other side, and made of leather like the 101 or 102, not metallic. Besides the ugly hole on the board, it is also missing the internal board lifting handle inside, and a kind of conical arm support was added to it.

A machine very like this, if not actually the same, appeared on Gumtree about six weeks ago. That also had a solid metal handle like a drawer or door handle.

It would only irritate folk to learn how much it was offered for at that point.
