Parts of a G & T coin op / HMV GRAMOPHONE TRADEMARK c1899 OAK CASE-PENNY IN SLOT

[Sidewinder]

This machine appeared at an auction on 7 September

https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auct ... lotDetails

and sold for around £500.-

It has a number of issues,most notably
- no coin op mechanism, not even coin slot
- motor incorrectly positioned
- top seems to be new woodwork (sould be holes for coin op attachments?)

Horn, arm & base would be great as a spare in the eventuality of completing it.

Now on sale on ebay if you are really interested

I don't understand this seller. Why do all his prices end in an 88 and why is everything 5 to 10 times what its worth? He sells ordinary 102s for £488 on Ebay. I've tried to reason with him several times but he's not interested in selling anything realistically.

His pictures are crap too which suggests to me he's a novice or doesn't want to be drawn into answering difficult questions. AVOID at all costs.

Luckiest number in Chinese. I'm surprised it's not £8,888
