We are all familiar with dual purpose portables, but here someone has decided to build their own around an HMV102.
If it had a carrying handle and came from India it would probably be classed as a transportable.

Sold for GBP£45 + Buyer's Protection. The soundbox alone is worth that.

Re: A strange combination.
Not as cheap as the HMV 156 in complete and original condition that sold yesterday for all of £25.
It was only 45-60 mins drive for me but since it was Philip Serrell's auction off the TV, as usual with just 24 hours notice and an early lot number, I couldn't get over to it.
It was described as "HMV gramophone" even though the model number is clearly marked on it. That shows the level of interest he / his people have in selling things properly. When will you learn, Phillip?
