hi guys, im back again ,this time with a hmv 104'windy upper gramophone that arrived in rag order, i dont see any section here on forum for these oldies, or am i looking in the wrong places, someone had broken open the boards inside at the turntable in order to get in at the motor and forgot to remove the handle so the veneer was missing ,also there was no sound box on the arm , i was kindly gifted one by pat herbert of the hurdy gurdy museum in howth, i also had to replace the speaker cloth and repair the fretwork, and the four corners of the lid were also stripped , looking not too bad now and stephane kappelli is jazzing away as i speak, just have to get a piece of dark veneer now for around the turntable and im finished , maitiu,
