Thanks for the compliments. Yes, it looks very good and sounds nice, but now, I am looking for someone, who wants it. - I like radiograms much more...
By the way, I am searching for an HMV 660 radiogram. Can someone assist me?
Kind regards

If you are wishing to sell your Electrola. I would recommend placing an ad in our "Yankee Trader". The same can be said with regards to your "wants". However, if you are in Germany....there is also a German forum (if you don't already know). A well placed ad there may find you a more "local" buyer for your beautiful machine.HMV_Electrola wrote:Thanks for the compliments.

I've always coveted one of those late HMV consoles, and of course combinations ("Radiograms" in the Old Country) are far more common over here.
I see that the HMV 660 uses the RCA Victor "Magic Brain" multi-band tuning mechanism which was shared by all of the top-of-the-line RCA products between 1935 and 1937 including the massive, technically advanced RCA Victor D-22 combination of 1936.
The D-22 was a 22 tube monster with a all-band receiver which covered from 135KC to 60MC, a two-speed automatic record changer, an advanced volume expander circuit, a 30 watt power amplifier employing 4 2A3 triodes in parallel push-pull.
