Yes, it's a tragic loss, that the photos past a certain date seems to be lost. I have all the photos from the start of this thread on an old hard drive, but it would be an immense task to re upload the content....
Concerning the Goldring, I remember this name when scrolling Japanese gramophone websites in the past, where I collected the Columbia information and photos for this, and the index thread, containing both UK/US/Japan Columbia portables.
I believe this particular Japanese Goldring, have manufactured many different wind up portables during a certain period of time. I have not seen the HMV 102 "equivalent" before, but am adding a few more Gold Rings, for reference.
Hello everyone. I was wondering if i could get some help. I have aquired a Columbia Viva Tonal Model 600 and know nothing about it or it's value. It does work and needs just a little tlc.
