Hello all!
I am looking for an original condition HMV 23.5" 'Morning Glory' horn for an HMV School Gramophone GFO/Model 26 project. OEM was either the black, red, or green horn large metal horn. I know this is a hard item to find in the US but I am willing to pay to rip it from your hands. Additionally, if you're in the UK I will also pay above market + aggravation + shipping.
Thanks! I've been a longtime reader of this forum and finally decided to have Brandon sign me up. You all have a great resource here and some of the most helpful folks I've run across in any forum! Cheers!
Bobby

Re: WANTED: 23.5" HMV 'Morning Glory' Horn
I have a very late HMV machine(still restoring it) that is basically a Victor V. I too, was looking for one of these horns. I got lucky and found a Victor V Morning glory that needed to be repainted. I painted mine with Krylon Red Pepper Fusion paint. It is extremely close to the original red used on the HMV machines. I used a decal from the guy in Peru. He has an exact decal for the HMV horns and machines.

Re: WANTED: 23.5" HMV 'Morning Glory' Horn
Thanks Harvey, that's my next option but I'm willing to buy a complete HMV machine to get the horn for my HMV 26 and then perhaps find a repainted one for that one. I am still hoping to track one down.... With a money's no object approach, I'm hoping someone gives in....Phonofreak wrote:I have a very late HMV machine(still restoring it) that is basically a Victor V.

Re: WANTED: 23.5" HMV 'Morning Glory' Horn
I believe I have the horn you are looking for.
Attached are 4 photos which show this horn which
I acquired many years ago. It is in VERY good
shape and is the 23.5" green HMV horn.
I am interested in trading for parts; i.e.,
Concert Upper casting
Triumph A wood face frame
