Hi Jake , the Gold plating is the original from 1925 however they protected this with a coating of lacquer which was in poor condition , this i removed using methylated spirit then re-lacquered items with metal lacquer to protect the gold plating
Absolutely stunning machine. I inherited a cheap gramophone cabinet and whilst it's fun for me, it's got nothing on that beauty you have. I wonder if I could got plate the metal like in yours?
Yes you can get your tone arm re plated will have to check up metal platers in your area contact them state your request & see if they can come up with the goods its not cheap but the resulta are stunning well worth the effort !
@@fitang1 You think it might work? Here's a link to my channel that shows my old gramophone. It's full of shiny steel - or is it nickel plate? It might not be financially viable to gold plate it all on what is an aged machine, th-cam.com/video/Mpw8r6IwKIg/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful upload---many thanks. Are you able to show us more of the superb dancing couple mechanism please ? I have never seen another anywhere. Might you have one for sale ?
Hi Graham, Check out E-Bay , under Gramophones or Phonographs, they come up here occasionaly , watch out for the Indian Fake ones they do not have the heavy lead base or brass top "Dance floor", mind you they are not cheap!
@@fitang1 Many thanks Tom---much appreciate your reply and have to say that the condition of your gramophone is exemplary and a joy forever---well done ! I shall keep my eyes open and if you hear of another magnetic dancer please let me know. I do happen to have a spare 511 horn plus slats if you are in need.
@@grahamrankin will keep an eye on E-Bay, there is of course E-Bay.com the American site & have seen several on that site, of course there is postage to consider & customs charges!
Gave it a full service & polish up when collected now just flick a duster over it once a week originally came from a farm in surrey from family who had it from new !
Is it possible to get a picture of the label? I would appreciate it if you could tell me where or how I can purchase a copy of that record. mikezemlachenko@att.net Thanks for the beautiful music piece!
Hi Tom. Beautiful HMV machine. I´m interested in buying the same gramophone here in Colombia, but I realized it does not have the original sound box. Could you tell me please the model of the Original gramophone sound box of the 511 HMV model? What is the name of the piece shown in 0:22 (indicator? gage? pointer?) Thank you so much and congratulations.. you have a treasure.
The reproducer is usually set @ 60 degrees as the correct playing angle to the record if it was vertical the needle would cause rapid wear to the record surface
@@fitang1 Sorry. I did not mean from the view point looking toward the diaphragm. I meant as you lowered the soundbox at a view point looking toward the edge of the diaphragm. The soundbox appeared to descend too low. That looks like a No. 4 reproducer? Was it original to the machine? Is the tone arm original? It also could mean the turntable is too low.
@@mannysanguena7900 Hi, The sound box is the original that would have been fitted to these & other HMV machines of this period the tonearm is also original to this machine , I think its the camera angle that gives the apperance of it being too low
Hi I removed the back panel to show the long horn & 4 spring motor , the panel slots in the back & is secured by 2 screws, also the oiling diagram is stuck on the inside of it! you can see the back panel leaning against the radiator .
Very very to much your Gramophone !!! The dancers is perfect. Thank you Phil'.
Superb collector's item in addition the couple of dancer is magical
.. Thank you for this beautiful musical moment. I subscribe...+1+1
Thank you for sharing this. It sounds marvelous and is a great looking machine.
What a fantastic quality of machines you have !!!! It's almost unbelievable !!!!!!!! Congretiolations Tommy !!!!!!!!
Fantastic sound! Great gramophone HMV, thanks for showing us :D
These machines with the Saxaphone shape horn produce a very good tone with wide frequency response only bettered by the re-entrant machines
Beautiful machine, truly stunning.
Beautiful! Imagine getting one of those in 1925!
These did not come cheap were £50 back then around £3000 now
such a joy this one!
Marvelous record!
Just like in a story book, this is all too good to be true.
Great video!!!! Thanks!!
So much tanks of the His mastar gramfon
Que belleza de aparato, mucho mas vistoso que los actuales y muy buen sonido.
Superb machine!

Tom Charlesworth well never mind, mine will never be like that but at least I can admire yours!
Thanks, Jake
thise "magnetic dancer" - very funy, never saw them b4. But very very amusing. Have to have one of these too hehe.. (for may little HMV)
Have to be careful as there are a lot of reproductions on the market which are of poor quality & do not perform well
Very good!
wow sounds great yeah
once the soundbox has been rebuilt & motor serviced the sound reproduction from these machines is suprisingly good
We had a HMV Gramophone, but lack of preservation,it go away.

Hi Graham , one of those magnetic dancers now for sale on E-Bay might be worth a look !
Blimey……. Do you polish it everyday !!!
Sounds great though, great dancing couple-where did you find that ?

WOW!
Eat your heart out Bose.
Yep well impressed with the tonal quality of this bad boy !

How did you get the plating this bright? whatever it is a couple of my gramophones could do with it!
Stunning machine best wishes, Jake

It’s the oringinal HMV NO.4 soundbox，and the piece is speed control.
Why does the reproducer sit at that odd angle?
The reproducer is usually set @ 60 degrees as the correct playing angle to the record if it was vertical the needle would cause rapid wear to the record surface

@@fitang1 perhaps it is the camera.
очень интересно!
Surely the back isn't open that would do some damage with dust and other things like bugs and other debris flying in the air.

@@fitang1 Oh, that makes more sense now,I know that the American Victors were like that specially those ones made during the teens
