HMV 130, early version?

[nostalgia]

I picked up this HMV 130 during the winter, again saving it from a bad future.
It looks different than expected though, we can see the expected square lid, but it has a different base section of the case than expected.
No bracket feet on this machine.
I thought I would upload the photos, some of you have most probably seen this version in the UK, but it is the first time I see one.
It is still not cleaned, and not had its 32 motor serviced, but it will happen soon, this very spring.

Is there an Ivorine ID plaque beneath the removable used needle container? If so, it might help to date the machine.

I will check during the next weekend, the machine is in the garage where I restore during the summer, 30 km from my house.
It will be interesting to see if the Ivorine ID plaque is present.

Very nice machine. I used to have one. They do sound good.

I'd say the feet have been removed. If it really is an early one, it won't have an ivorine plaque, it will have a metal label underneath the turntable.

An, thanks for your greeting, yes they sound goood, I also have one in my storage locker (due to small space at home).

Roger and Oedipus, thanks also for your input.
This one is an early version, it has a metal label underneath the turntable. And you were (again) correct Oedipus, the feet has been removed, I turned the machine yesterday and checked it. One should never be surprised what people sometimes did to their gramophones. I will still service it and move it on, it will entertain for decades to come, after being serviced, despite not being totally authentic.

Thanks for all help!
