The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Not being any HMV expert and not having a reference for them, can anyone tell me the model number of this and hazard an opinion on its relative quality? I imagine they are not "common" in the States, but it is available locally. Thanks. John

You may want to upload a larger picture, you can barely even make out that it's a phonograph.

Unfortuantely I don't seem to be able to resize it without loosing all detail and clarity to it.
At any rate, it is an ebay auction which contains further photos...see #350586688379. It's in a little
rough shape with the rust being noted, and evident. Was curious as to whether this was worth going after
for a rarity factor? John

Its a wreck. The brake, tonearm, reproducer and crank are NOT HMV. Probably worth $10 in parts.

A bigger picture. Table Grand (I don't know which model number).

It started out as a model 110, and ran from 1922 to 1925. But as stated, the original brake is missing, the arm and soundbox are not original, and given what it would cost to have most of the internal plating redone, I agree with the opinion that it's a wreck.

As already stated by others, it's a complete wreck and not worth even buying for $10.

FIREWOOD, maybe!

Thanks, I'll steer clear.
