Is it just me or are none of the photos appearing to shoe? They just say it doesn't exist? I'm wondering if it's only on my side or are other people seeing jt.

Others see it too. It's a well known issue that older photos have disappeared from the site. It's been hinted at by the forum moderator, that it can be fixed... but it has not been after many many months. Maybe one day... :roll:

Probably my first Windup machine, I can BARELY find anything on the Northome Brand I’m guessing it’s an OEM type of machine sold in Minnesota?

Here's my mystery machine. It's a hill & dale disc machine. I believe the turntable turns counterclockwise. It has a feedscrew that moves the carriage to the left towards the center of the record. I has some levers that go back to the governor. As the carriage moves to the left the levers move the governor pad away from the governor wheel suggesting constant velocity under the stylus. There are no identifying marks on the mechanism. I took it to the 2023 Midwest Expo but it remains a mystery.
