Based on the HMV97, but (usually) with a double spring motor, this was an export model. The brown leatherette covering was popular in India, which was probably it's intended market. It appears to have been phased out by late 1940, possibly due to wartime production difficulties.

As often happens, the example featured here appears to be missing it's detachable record storage tray.
