Unknows HMV - 4047E
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2024 3:45 am
Hello,
I am French and recently bought a gramophone from an lady (around 60 years old) who inherited it from her grandmother. The model is an HMV 4047E, with the serial number 12892. It’s a portable suitcase-style gramophone, with reinforced sides, covered in black leather and oiled wood. The platter is red, which seems unusual.
The soundbox doesn't resemble any of the typical HMV and she is unbred. However, the sound it produces is clean and clear, which suggests it’s in good working condition despite its age. I believe the machine is around 94 years old and has held up remarkably well, showing great durability.
You can't disable the auto-stop (but you could unscrew it), and i don't found any kind of support for 78 RPM Inside the high part
I complely Restore It, or the must i can do about. the leather is shiny the metal part lost a lot of there rust and motor fully grease. Under the motor was a old newpaper maybe for humidity.
Calc ;
0.118*9.81 = 1.15758 N (newtone)
1,15758 / 0,0000007 = 1 653 685,71 Pa for M2, 1,15758 / 0,7= 1,65 Pa per Mn
1.65Pa for the Pressure on maid by the Needle and the Soundbox
******************
On the photos, I didn't touch anything from the bought state;
I’m looking for any additional information about this model, particularly regarding the soundbox, the year of production, and any insights about the red platter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
