Having just looked at mine I think that the seller has just made an error and reversed the tone arm direction / angle - as it 'swivels'. I can't be sure but I think that is why the sound-box is facing in the wrong direction.Phono48 wrote: Thu May 11, 2023 1:57 pm Looks like a good solid machine, but surely the soundbox is upside down, and the crook facing the wrong way? As it is the tracking angle would be appalling!

Sounds quite nice, especially with a mica diaphragm!poodling around wrote: Fri May 12, 2023 4:51 am
I have just up-loaded a quick video of the Novaphonic. As always the sound isn't great but hopefully it will give some impression.

Re: Novaphonic portable
Yes. I had some kind of cryptic copyright message. It seemed okay except people in Russia couldn't see it apparently. Anyway, I deleted it. It was a nice Caruso record. I will do another one tomorrow if you are interested.

Re: Novaphonic portable
It sounds fantastic, even through YouTube, and I love the echo chamber room too. I will want to build myself one now! 
Were they originally supplied with The Limit soundbox, do we know? The one on Ebay sounds awful but I bet it would sound a whole lot better after a rebuild and adjustment. Many congratulations on a fine machine that already sounds amazing with HMV no. 4.
