Re: EMG Cheltenham
Yes, an Expert Senior (not Junior as the auctioneers say) and the rare pedestal model. It will be fascinating to see what it sells for!

Re: EMG Cheltenham
If recent sales results are anything to go by, only those with very deep pockets need apply.
Is this a known machine in the EMG/Expert world or a new discovery?

Re: EMG Cheltenham
Don't tell me, an auction estimate of £200-400?

Re: EMG Cheltenham
Not one I have come across before. The rarest of the rare and will probably go for a high price in spite of the massive commission costs. It would be good to know about the soundbox and its condition.epigramophone wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 12:51 pm Is this a known machine in the EMG/Expert world or a new discovery?

Re: EMG Cheltenham
The auction guy posted a question about this machine on another forum. I replied to the thread, and I told him EXACTLY what it is. Maybe he never bothered to look at the forum again.
Best regards ... AZ*

Re: EMG Cheltenham
I can thank my friend Roger for sending me the link to this machine. I have looked through a powerful glass, and can see it is a little war weary-probably from storage perhaps. I am not sure if I can see an oblong ivorine label on the bottom of the lid at thew back. My Expert has one of those, and is a very late post war model I have been told. Perhaps this is a late model. Nice cabinet, but certainly not space saving" The white square box on the board -does it contain a dozen soundboxes or whatever......??
Good to see another Senior-hopefully being bought by someone who will enjoy listening to it, and not just to having it in their "mansion" as a "prop"

Re: EMG Cheltenham
I think you make an interesting point. I am beginning to wonder if EMG's are now being bought by 'investment speculators' rather than gramophone lovers, as such.old country chemist wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 2:57 pm I can thank my friend Roger for sending me the link to this machine.

Re: EMG Cheltenham
That's not the case with all the UK EMG/Expert enthusiasts I know, several of whom are lucky enough to have multiple examples like myself - we enjoy them on a daily basis! Speaking personally I wouldn't view one bought now at top market value as a sound investment relative to inflation...poodling around wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 3:04 pmI think you make an interesting point.
