Thank you! We used to have, “I lift up my finger,” and it was wonderful to hear it again after probably 60 years! Sadly I broke our gramophone by winding it over hard, and we got a modern hi-fi in about 1960
Chewing my child and boyhood . We had such a sweet gramaphone . Now when your picture record started rotating , my child and boyhood was also rotating in my memory. Thanks .
Amazing. i have hundresd of tracks from this era but I always marvel at how well the original discs sound on youtube clips of orginal gramophones. I already drooled at your ampico video and now I can' believe that you also posted this machine! We are obviously kindred spirits!
Incredible machine - and, original condition??! In 15 years of collecting / window shopping old players both at flea markets (USA) and eBay, never seen this one! Nice; must not have used any pot metal in the mech. 5 stars.
Marvelous! I was a bit worried when I saw what happened to the record when it was finished though! Seemed to be chucked unceremoniously into a bin to the right of the turntable. Any get broken that way?
I've just got an auto changing grammerphone (some work to do before it completely works though). It can change upto eight records, same make but not like this one, this method is amazing!! lol
I've always wondered, was HMV His Masters Voice the British/European branch of Victor/Victrola or were they (HMV) independently run and manufactured apart from Victor in Camden, New Jersey? Both companies used the famous listening dog logo.
An incredible machine. I have a Victor 10-50 but this HMV is more impressive. What does that control on the right side front do, the one that looks like it slides left to right?
Which leads me to ask... do you know if this type of changer was ever sold in any players in the USA? Or was it just a British / Australian HMV changer?
Thanks for your question. There are needles that last 10 sides before you have to change them. There were also semi permanent ones available as well. Keep safe.
That is fantastic. I saw one of these in the flesh in chesterfield and they are really impressive and very rare. Congratulations on owning this!
Thanks for your interest. Keep safe.
4:35 It Scoops Out The Record After Playing In Style That's Amazing
VERY impressed with the sound quality it has! Actually VERY GOOD!

Cela peut être réparé facilement👍😍

Excellent Fidelity for an acoustic machine!

Beautiful in every way
I like that there is a button that says BUTTON. These early record changers are fascinating.
Love this machine and the "remote". Should have subscribed earlier!!
One good turn deserves another!
jack and his band sounds great playing English tunes.
Thanks

Great machine !! And I love the music !!
I've seen this video on TH-cam loads of times and it's a fabulous machine. The music is very nice and interesting.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks for your interest. Glad you liked it.
You are very welcome and also thanks I'm delighted to hear that
I Love disc play!
...and thank you for this marvelous video!
Hello and thanks for your interest. I use Columbia Duragold semi permanent needles which last for 10 sides.
I've just got an auto changing grammerphone (some work to do before it completely works though). It can change upto eight records, same make but not like this one, this method is amazing!! lol
Its funny that the motor and controls run on electric but it is acousticaly reptoduced
In the late 1920's, motors were becoming more common but electronics using valves was still being developed.
@@Mechsounds that is true
How does the rotating arm "grab" the record on this wonderful machine?
I've always wondered, was HMV His Masters Voice the British/European branch of Victor/Victrola or were they (HMV) independently run and manufactured apart from Victor in Camden, New Jersey? Both companies used the famous listening dog logo.
AMAZING. ITS SOUND IS GREAT. CONGRUTULATIONS MY FRIEND YOU HAVE AN HISTORIACL TREAUSRE.
Thanks for your comments and interest.
An incredible machine. I have a Victor 10-50 but this HMV is more impressive. What does that control on the right side front do, the one that looks like it slides left to right?
It sounds like it's being played with an electric pickup, but it looks like a standard Nr. 5 reproducer.
I want to know the name of the music
Which leads me to ask... do you know if this type of changer was ever sold in any players in the USA? Or was it just a British / Australian HMV changer?
I love it!
Tolles Gerät und einen hervoragenden Klang ! War sicherlich schon 1929 nicht ganz billig!
Play 20 records... ? But should the needle not be changed after every record played?
Thanks for your question. There are needles that last 10 sides before you have to change them. There were also semi permanent ones available as well. Keep safe.
What a fabulous machine! What did it cost in 1929?
Beautiful machine and what great sound!
Is the 1A horn the same size as either the model 163 or 193 horn?
193 I believe
How much did it cost? I WANT one!!!
What sort of needle do you use, since steel usually has to be changed with each play?
@@solinus7131 Thank you!
War dieses Gerät auch in Deutschland als Electrola-Modell erhältlich?
electrola89 Ja als "W2" (Exportversion),ist sogar im Phonomuseum in Schleswig-Holstein zu bewundern.
Does it change it's own needles?
+Alex Paulsen No,it plays with Tungstyl Needles
You get you're money's worth.some machine.
