The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

My money is on the former, but since I know absolutely nothing about HMV machines.....
the Seller describes the horn as being of aluminum and either it was cobbled together last week or it has been polished to the extreme.
Any information appreciated. John

No diamond...Crap-o....

Garbage

not worth the value of the record on the turntable! i would stay well away!!

Thanks, I thought so....now, can I interest anyone in a wood-horned "Harponola" that is available locally? Personally belonged to Harpo Marx, for $50 it is probably priced about right.... John

is it collection only or is the seller willing to post? is it a external horn machine?

. Good one John. I think I will wait for a Grouchola to turn up. Then I can display it with my Jolsonphone..... .

Kirtley: Your question is in regard to the Harponola? It is for sale in Denver, PA for $50 on Craigslist. You can send them an email and see if they care to ship to the UK. It has a pot metal arm.....internal horn type, cash in on the Victrola/Grafonola. It seems they were made by a furniture company in Celina, OH and is said "to work". Do a craigslist search for it and ye shall find! John
