Help with an HMV Horn Machine
Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2019 2:44 pm
Hello All,
Hope everyone is well. I am seeking some assistance with a recent acquisition of mine. My knowledge of European machines is limited, so I am reaching out for some help with identification.
A few questions:
-I believe this is an HMV Intermediate Monarch, but I’m not so sure. There is no model on the machine. It has the correct double spring motor. Thoughts?
-I would like to complete the machine; I am wondering what the correct horn would be? I’d love to see some photos of someone has the same machine! If someone has a horn they would part with, I would certainly be interested. Once I can identify the proper horn I will make a Yankee Trader post.
-Someone has brush painted all the plated components with silver paint (I am assuming because of corrosion). Any insight on how to safely remove this paint while preserving any remaining plating?
As always, sincerely appreciate the knowledge be help of my fellow board members
