The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Does anyone know who "jakescore1" is on Ebay? It's a curious thing that he's offered quite a few items for sale recently including some rare machines and yet his knowledge on the subject appears rather rudimentary, being kind.

I've offered some helpful advice to him on more than one occasion but although he appeared grateful, in typical Ebay seller fashion, he ignored it and listed some items incorrectly.

Thank you. It looks rather fine. I've written to the guy to ask about shipping. It's a shame London is so inconveniently placed.

And very overpriced. It's a 461 for Petes sake, not a 511.

What's a fair price to pay for a good clean 461 in your view?

Thanks

Neil

£150-225

Still looking!

But I can probably be persuaded to settle for an HMV 150 ...

How about this?

Thank you

It looks as if it would have done handsomely. Unfortunately I couldn't find a carrier at short notice who would quote me for bringing it to the wilds of Argyll. The fellow recommended by the auctioneer doesn't do Scotland.

A shame as it appears to have been a fine example.
