I forgot to add, having both a Orthophonic Victor 10-50 changer and a EMG machine, the EMG has a much better sound. I was glad I was able to find an EMG when stationed in Great Britian back in 1983.. Nice Post too!

I discovered EMG machines before I was stationed in England. I was fortunate to acquire one, and yes.....they sound much better than anything during thier time to compare with any American phonograph. It is unfortunate few American collectors know so little about these machines by EMG

Extremely impressive. I don't think we had anything to compare with the EMG here in the USA. That's a very cool machine. Thanks for sharing it.

It has been re-painted ( unfortunately),but the paint underneath is a cream colour. EMG made several "white" machines. This is one of them.

I am surprised that you do not seem to understand that the EMG gramophones were designed so you could close the lid to then listen to the record without the needle hiss. Closing the lid improves the sound quality immensely.

I've never heard of the EMG before, but i will not forget this! Just from what i can here via your camera mic, the mids are very warm and smooth, and i imagine you are hearing very good low end! How does this compare with an Orthophonic for low frequency? This has got to be pretty healthy on volume too! Thanks for sharing!

The Oversize was introduced in 1935 so well after electrically recorded discs were introduced in 1925 and probably being common place by the early 30's. It does struggle a bit in a small room. Really it needs a huge hall to sound it's best.

Incredible sound! Puts my Victor orthophonic to shame...

Hi, Chunny Are you the one who sold me 4 EMG and Meltrope back gaskets recently on ebay? I remember this oversize was on ebay. Very good sound!! I am going to put up my EMGinn Expert Senior and EMG Xa for comparison.

It would be lovely to own one of thes mashines but it is probably hard to find one here in sweden.

DId you paint the machine and horn white? Never saw one in that color before. Usually the cabinets finished wood and horns are a dark brown color. Nice sound though!
