Hello All:
Here's a new video, long in coming, of a rather rare HMV 1A Automatic Gramophone.
It's quite a wondrous machine!
I hope you enjoy it.

The previous owner said it was found in an antique mall, of all places. My guess is that it was shipped from England in one of those containers used to transport bulk antique shipments to dealers.
