I have seen internal horns insulated on the outside in an attempt to boost the bass frequencies, but never before on the inside

.
What were they thinking? If the volume was too loud they could have controlled it with the doors.

Who did it must have had his reasons...
Glad you're enjoying your 157 now!

What an amazing solution to turning down the volume
If every gramophone "repair" was this easy, it would be great though:)
Good luck with your HMV 157, I have one myself..in my sleeping room
