Black HMV102 No Longer for sale
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:25 pm
Hi all, On Thursday I went to a local car boot sale and saw this black 102c for sale without a soundbox for £40. I couldn't say "no" but actually have no use for it my self so I have decided to offer it here at what it cost me before putting it on Ebay for more money.
Good points - complete apart from sound box, motor works and plays a full side easily, all brightwork good, auto stop/start works,
Not so good - case shows the usual scuffs, knocks and wear (but no areas of loss of rexine or worm holes) , obviously you need a soundbox (5a or b) for it, wooden motorboard has cracks near the horn where someone has tried to remove it without undoing the bolts holding the tone arm support etc, but they are not really noticeable.
It has the usual ring on the felt where a needle has slipped off a smaller record
All in all, for £40 plus postage it would make a good honest playing machine which you could throw into a vintage car for a picnic etc. and not have to be too precious over. I could part it out for more - a replacement mainspring for one is more than £40 ! - but I would like to pass it on complete to someone who can use it.
I would like to only sell it to someone in the UK as it is easier then sending it abroad (sorry US !) and will charge postage at cost or you can collect from Derby.
Please PM me fairly soon before I put it on Ebay, if you are interested. (I can send you more photos if you want more details..)
Cheers
Andrew
