Novaphonic portable

[poodling around]

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.

Ha ha ! It's a great room for yodeling in !

The ones I have seen all have the very same limit sound-box. (Which will have rock hard gaskets).

I really appreciate your comments as always and also appreciate your discerning ears.

I was just having a quick look at my Novaphonic portable and noticed something odd. I checked the one on ebay and it seems the same.

The odd thing is that there seems nowhere to store the winding handle in the actual gramophone case !

If I am not imagining this does anyone know why ? I have never seen a portable without such an internal storage area ........

What a shock .

Quite a bargain I think. Cheaper than most of those oh so common HMV 102's these days.

Although the brake and speed control are different to mine I would love to know if it has a double spring motor and what the horn looks like. Maybe a video too with it playing !!

Indeed. Now all you need to do is find yourself a complete F.T.A. gramophone!

Now there's a thought. F.T.A.'s do look like great machines. Are you thinking of any particular model

Oh, happy days !

Do you really think so? I thought it was shockingly expensive!

Yes, I think it was very good value. Really. These things are subjective though of course. There are various brands of gramophone I simply wouldn't buy because they are in my opinion very over priced and over-rated. However, this isn't one of them.

On the other hand, I suppose you could just refuse to pay and let the second highest bidder have it - then just look around and buy a cheaper one.

As if. You know me better than that I hope. It was paid for before the underbidder had caught his breath and realised the game was over!
