Is it indeed the same machine of Joe Ginn? Where is it located?

Is that a model? It looks like a miniature (dollhouse) gramophone on my screen.

Wonderful. So, is it a model made by E.M.Ginn's son Joe? Is it yours Chunny? Where/how on earth did you find it? !

Ha, hay...! I've come to watch these photos again, and I was thinking the same... It seemed a miniature, for when you enlarge the images more detail, it seems strangely bad made! And it seems to be placed on a table or console...! :D

It's a model made by E.M.Ginn's son Joe Ginn. It's around 21cm tall. It sometimes lives in my kid's doll house.

Your kids' dolls have very good tastes in music and in hardware. Considering they only have a small collection they're off to a good start.

It's very similar to my Junior, with its matching base unit - I believe you have a similar one too Chunny!

(Apologies, Windows 10 seems unable to rotate the photo - it used to be easy - that's progress, grrrrr)

Lovely Junior, Andy.
I notice it sits perfectly flush on the cabinet. What are the dimensions of your cabinet?

Here are two pictures of my Expert Senior from Firth St, on the cabinet it came with. It sits inside the top of the cabinet. The cabinet is W:23 ½" by D:22 ½" by H:24".

The final picture is of my Expert Senior from Rathbone St, with the Joe Ginn model. The cabinet does not match and is the later one from Firth St.

Two gorgeous Seniors there Chunny, wow!

My Junior's cabinet is 23 5/16" h x 18 ⅜" d x 22 ¼" h. Actually the Junior isn't quite flush with the cabinet but sits inside a slender lip like yours does, the base unit being 22 ⅞" w x 18 3/16" d.
