The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Nice machine, congratulations!

These re-entrant machines are wonderful, welcome on board! I can hardly figure you using any other gramophone from now on.

Good as the 193 is, my Expert will remain my everyday player.

Same with me, my 202 plays second fiddle to the Expert Senior.

Well, you guys like to hit hard!

My 202 plays third fiddle to my Expert Senior that plays second fiddle to my EMG 10B Oversize! (my 194 left the room in disgust whilst my 163 refused to come into the house)

We at the 194-but-no-EMG Club, say Brrrrrrr...!

Rats! I have to limit my ambition to the puny Senior, as an Oversize could only stay in the garage, the only place with a large enough door to pass the horn.

That's just tragic Carlos! When I was last house-hunting, one of the non-negotiable requirements was doorways large enough for the EMG Oversize!

"Each to their own" - my Oversize is my daily go-to, whereas the Expert Senior in the same room gets almost no use!
