Bargain basement Algraphone Algrette

If I had the space and I didn't already own an Algraphone I'd be on this. With probably a Waring and Gillow cabinet, unique Alfred Graham motor, tonearm and soundbox, high quality acoustic system, this is a steal at £100 or less.

Relisted at £85 or best offer. I have neither the space nor the appetite for a 350 mile round trip to collect.

And now at £66 or offer https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235854231574?

Likewise, I have neither space nor the inclination given the distance from me, but what a bargain. I had one of these years ago and enjoyed it.

It's not at the top of any collector's list of priorities but a mint condition HMV No. 8 Table Grand (the first ever table HMV of 1910) complete with its original "G" key sold last week for just £20. It was a gloriously light honey oak colour too with exceptional graining. Most machines seem to be taking a serious nose-dive in prices. I'd have paid more than that for the lacquered brass key but surely a Gramophone Co. Exhibition is still worth £40-60 on its own?
