Slightly confusing - the description gives the location as Malaysia, not Southampton!

Re: HMV Model 32
The machine's location is unclear, but the listing has been ended early at £11. Someone probably made the seller an offer he could not refuse.
He is listed as based in the UK, but the listing suggests that English may not be his first language.

Re: HMV Model 32
That was astonishingly quick. I wonder what the price was - it looked nice apart from rust patina on the horn. Here are the other photos for posterity. The seller mentioned it would come with a No. 4 soundbox, not the Exhibition shown.epigramophone wrote:The machine's location is unclear, but the listing has been ended early at £11.

Re: HMV Model 32
Looks like a nice machine. I once went to an Indian wedding in Petaling Jaya---had to eat tapioca off banana leaves with my fingers whilst sitting cross-legged on the floor which I remember as being a little challenging ! Happy days.............

Re: HMV Model 32
That's only a couple more pounds than the listing price in the 1928 catalog.
