That's a genuine oddity: a machine clearly based on the Indian Transportable HMV 113, itself similar in design and size to the UK 130 table model but this time a table grand style with 130 grille whilst retaining also the 113 closable flap (for transportation although this is NOT Transportable!)and having a teak case. All the HMV fittings are there but no HMV trademark and what or who is Johnson?! As if that's no strange enough, it has a Garrard motor that appears to be genuine?!!
