For a couple seconds it looked like I might have it at £510, alas I was outbid and it went to someone else
Seller must be pleased price doubled last 5 seconds!
The brake looks a bit later than the G&T case, I'd have expected a screw instead. Doesn't look like motor has been replaced though

GBP909.00 is not an especially high price by British standards. The nickel-plating is better preserved than some I have seen (long ago I had a 1913 H.M.V. machine whose 'bright' parts were about as lustrous as an elephant's hide), and there are plenty of Exhibition sound-boxes in circulation to replace the present No. 4.
The horn looks like the one on the gramophone which Captain Scott carried on board ship in his ill-fated South Pole expedition (1912). I presume it is later than the machine, since the latter seems to bear a G. & T. trade-mark.

Absolutely, that's still a good buy. I topped out at £900, the later horn and my uncertainty re the motor is what stopped me going over £1k because that would have seriously bugged me. Still a very attractive instrument, and hope it made it to a good home
