These are rarer than the Pooley Victrola and just as historically important to the British market and normally fetch around £1000! If I had the space.......

Quite disgusting to see such price for a rare, well built and historically relevant machine. I have one in not as nice condition as the one advertised, and at the time I paid much more than the price asked for this one.

I cringed while watching it "playing" in the listing.

Yes, sorry, I should have forewarned people about that! Isn't it strange that setting the arm down on the wrong side of the record with the needle obviously chiselling away at the grooves, seems to be the default setting for non-experts? How did so many people become so dim?

You could not have stated it better.

To hell with it, I'm going to buy it!
I might need to knock down a few walls to make room but..........I'm a
