HMV 101 portable, in dark blue color

Thank you, Barry. I took the risk with the felt, but decided that I did not want to keep it the way it looked. So I had two options, testing a way to clean it, or change it. I was happy to find out that the Vanish stain remover spray did the trick, and for sure will try the same procedure also on other dirty turntables.

Both those motors are 59; the projecting winder nozzle is a later version. The 69 was the version used in table grands (103, 104), with a horizontal winder, so your motor has somehow acquired the baseplate from one of these. Could be a repair, or careless replacement from the wrong motor, or even a factory error!

Thank you, Oedipus for sharing. This information was, again, much appreciated.
