HMV autochanger

Post by bulleid_pacific »

It would be great to see someone take this on....

There aren't many about. Clearly the re-entrant horn was removed when the soundbox was replaced by an electrical pickup. So it's a tricky restoration. But who wouldn't want one? It would be worth a pile when finished....

The seller is also selling the operating instructions separately:

Amazing ,There was another one with the remote control pedestal for sale on eBay in last few months which didnt sell and went very cheap .But was missing the grill and horn. Mechanics looked better though top deck .It also had electric pick up.
If I had a huge house I would have bought it
