It does have a crank, i'm not sure now why it wan't on when I took these photos.
I do still have the machine, although it doesn't get played too often now as I have other ones which I prefer to listen to.

Not worth it. They are nice machines, but not for that amount of money. They're so common in the UK and hardly ever sell

In comparison with yours, how would you rate the one on my link? By the way, here are more photos.

I decided not to buy it. The seller only decreased the price 15 euros. Thanks for the advice.

It's not even an HMV - it's a Frankenphone - only the cabinet and tone-arm are original HMV items. The winder, motor, motorboard, t/table, brake, speed controls etc are all non-HMV items.
It's an absolute dog, but not the Nipper breed.
