HMV model 12 cabinet gramophone question s
Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2025 7:40 am
Hi all
I m currently working on the a/m cabinet gramophone. I am just wondering what the "stand" under the tone arm is for?
I only have the motor board+motor + tonearm reproducer for servicing so I cannot check it in the gramophone case (owner lives a long distance away and it wasn't practical to bring the entire case).
It obviously looks to be a stand for the tonearm to rest on but it looks like it may get caught on the turntable as it nears the end of the record.
Is there anyone with a similar machine with this stand and is familiar with it s function?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
