A box full of motors and turntables

Post by nostalgia »

I was out driving yesterday, collectig a (very heavy) box full of gramophone parts. Does someone has any good information on some of these parts to share?
In particular the very heavy motor with the (iron?/steel?) circular motor base and yellowish brass is totally new to me.

I could also not find the Garrard 22 motor listed on the excellent http://www.gramophonemuseum.com/garrard ... otors.html website.

In addition to the content in the box, both a 4 spring Victor and 4 spring HMV 34 motor was found on top of the box when I collected it.
The 34 motor is of course very handy to keep for a HMV collector, it will not be sold.

Photo #4, with the vertical governor and brass barrel, looks like an early Victor/HMV 'spur gear' motor.
