I'm thinking of buying a Carryola the 20s, the sound of Carryola is good? Thank you for all!

No, the sound is not especially good due to poor (below average quality) soundbox and otherwise unexceptional acoustic design. I think the motors are pretty robust and reliable though. Why specifically do you want one of these generic models?

I have a red HMV 102, and I think for what you mentioned, the sound is poor, I think I'll feel a big difference between the two sounds. I would like to acquire as a collection, but I do not think it is a good idea. thank you

Condition, condition , condition!!!if this is good , then price ??.. are there other machines available?...I would sooner buy it , and later wish I hadn't ,then not buy it and wish I had...I believe that there is no such thing as a bad gramophone...they are all great in their own way
