If you've been thinking about upgrading to a nice sounding Orthophonic* machine but don't feel like having to give up most of a room to do it, here's your machine. I rescued this little HMV 104 off eBay last fall and I have been enjoying it since I got it done- however I really don't have any room for it so it needs a good home.
Here's the "build thread" on it with lots of pics and a video on P. 3 and 4:

$495.00 plus shipping, or PM Jerry B about possible delivery to Union or APS for a reasonable fee. If Jerry can help you I will certainly get the machine to him at no additional charge if pre- paid in full.
*Full disclosure: While equipped with an HMV #5 sound box and Orthophonic arm, these machines do NOT have a re- entrant horn.

Thanks. If I had room, I'd seriously just keep it. I'm not sure I was clear about boxing and shipping via Greyhound now being included in the price, but yeah... it is! I don't want this one gathering dust... it's too nice!briankeith wrote:Nice 104

Some people live very far from a Greyhound depot - maybe you should consider offering another shipping method included in your price? Just a thought.

Good idea.briankeith wrote:Some people live very far from a Greyhound depot - maybe you should consider offering another shipping method included in your price? Just a thought.
I'd be willing to offer any alternative shipping method desired by the buyer at additional expense with the comparable Greyhound rate to the same locale discounted from it. For example, if FedEx Ground to your location is $100 and the Greyhound rate is $60, I'd charge you $40 extra to ship it FedEx Ground.
In addition, if you are overseas, I'll deduct the Eugene Oregon to NYC Greyhound rate from your shipping charges to wherever you are in the world.
Sound fair? Make sense?
