Demonstration of a British-made HMV 102 portable gramophone with HMV 5B soundbox and medium tone needle. (The record is Jack Hylton and His Orchestra performing "Forty-Seven Ginger-Headed Sailors" on a British "His Master's Voice" record - B5542, recorded September 21, 1928) and medium-tone needle. Note the auto-start and brake feature - very clever design. I find it interesting that this machine was in production for so long - 1931-1960.

What arrangements they made in those days! Did you notice the brief excursion into Eb near the end, before returning to the main key - F?

1956 I thought it would be older than that !!! ? What kinda price is it worth in this condition, it looks in very good condition. ??

They usually go for over $400. This one has some scuffs, but also has the record tray which holds a stack of records on the turntable during transport.

I don't dispute them - whatever videos of mine that appear must be accepted by KZfaq. Keep posting! I'm sure there records in your collection that are public domain.

What year of manufacture is your HMV 102. ??

I seem to recall 1956 - I'd have to look up the serial number again.

I've just uploaded a couple of videos from my HMV 102 that were flagged as infringing copyrights. I am interested if you have the same problem, and if so which method do you use to dispute it to best effect. Thanks.
