Re: Exhibition reproducer made in USA
Somebody (not me) will have a really good answer on this. My understanding however is that HMV/The Gramophone Company machines had US made ones until about 1919 when a production line was opened in the UK.
I believe the writing on your one indicates it was US made, but for export.

Do you know if it Is correct to be fitted on a HMV Intermediate Gramophone.
Thanks

My thinking would be that if it weren't correct, then what would be? What other reproducers might have been offered, in other words?Kiwi wrote: Tue Nov 26, 2024 2:35 pm Than you

Re: Exhibition reproducer made in USA
This exhibition should be correct for most Gramophone Company machines between around 1909-1918. You’re Intermediate Monarch is probably around 1910-12 if it marked with a transfer-decal with the intermediate name.Kiwi wrote: Tue Nov 26, 2024 2:35 pm Than you

As a simple guide your exhibition comes after the Gramophone & Typewriter marked exhibition. So your exhibition would be too late for a G&T machine but likely correct for an HMV badged machine before 1919.
