May Fair records seem hard to find. Perhaps owners had smoked themselves to death to qualify for the gramophone. Wonder who actually made the machine & soundbox. Looking at mine, it seems good quality.
@@Looney3987 It has the No 14 motor. The Garrard No 20 motor & the No 14 are identical & will interchange ( as far as I'm aware the only difference is that the spring in the 20 is a bit longer )🙂
Just been listening to your May-Fair Paul & it's sounding great ! They're certainly a well made machine, fitted with a Garrard No 14 motor & a Swiss soundbox , they can pack quite a punch & are well worth having in your collection !😊
Hello !! Your gramophone is very nice !! I am looking for a motor for gramophone Decca junior 1928 N° 57 because I have a tooht in the motor housing containing the leaf spring which is broken. Do you know anyone who would have one ? Kind regards Philippe in France.
mayfair camera too 😊 very posh
Well I suppose in back those days , if you smoked enough fags you could play the gramophone whilst you took your photos ! 🙂
What an interesting machine! I've never seen you post it before, is it new to the collection?
I also have one & have posted it on my channel. Would love a copy of 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' to play on it 🙂
I've had it for a few months Rowan & thought it was time it had an airing !

@@tiga4180 It looks like it has the garrard 20 motor. It may be a mishmash of a bunch of different parts

@@RichardPGE Thanks for listening & the info. Got it from a friend who had it for years, not realising its quality.
@@Looney3987 A successful mishmash by the sound of it!
