So to play the new electric recordings hmv came up with #4 swan neck tone arm design. Why do you say it's fake? Hmv 5a & 5b soundbox differences by inigo » mon mar 19, 2018 8:59 pm yes, mike

I am planning to do similar recordings with my mobile phone, which seems to work finer that i suspected, judging by the youtube vídeo
I will prepare recordings of the same record with the 102 and 194 using both sound boxes
A true video for comparison. Got this crane cam with a motor, tried searching details for it and didn't come up with much Hoping someone will have a little more in sights for me By jaso » mon may 26, 2025 4:33 am got these remains of a hmv 118 from a fellow forum member john nearly a couple of years ago
It is pretty gone, but there is still ebough left to save it I like to think any gramophone can be saved as long as there is serial number tag left. The slot in the tonearm i think is just a fraction too far back so although the soundboxes go on, they won't rotate into position My hmv 162 takes all 3 soundboxes just fine, though the victor made exhibition is slightly less tight, however this could be for a number of reasons.
The evolution of the hmv 101 by gramophoneshane » wed jun 23, 2021 6:44 pm they used a couple different motors in the side wound 101, and the soundbox changed throughout production from all brass to brass front with pot metal back, to all pot metal
Personally, i've never seen a 101 with a crank holder in the lid. By charliephono » tue mar 18, 2025 5:35 pm can you see the lovely shade of green from where you are That's pure envy on my part The hmv no4 soundbox must have been imported from victor, as i've read somewhere (sooy memories?) that this was a sooy development for pure improvement and development of the current soundboxes (exhibition and no2) by 1924, prior to the electrical recording unveiled by maxwell and harrison.
