The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Having just looked at mine I think that the seller has just made an error and reversed the tone arm direction / angle - as it 'swivels'. I can't be sure but I think that is why the sound-box is facing in the wrong direction.

I have just up-loaded a quick video of the Novaphonic. As always the sound isn't great but hopefully it will give some impression.

Sounds quite nice, especially with a mica diaphragm!

Yes. I had some kind of cryptic copyright message. It seemed okay except people in Russia couldn't see it apparently. Anyway, I deleted it. It was a nice Caruso record. I will do another one tomorrow if you are interested.

Yes, I am. Thank you!

My pleasure.

It sounds fantastic, even through YouTube, and I love the echo chamber room too. I will want to build myself one now!

Were they originally supplied with The Limit soundbox, do we know? The one on Ebay sounds awful but I bet it would sound a whole lot better after a rebuild and adjustment. Many congratulations on a fine machine that already sounds amazing with HMV no. 4.
