- Replica brass horn gramophone Vintage inport from India around 1920s - looks good -sounds ok - does the job, Has a very good Garrard 30 wind-up motor and handle -
The case is softwood and has been treated and made to look like a Mahogany colour finish. Looks good in the corner of the room - Nice.
I’ve seen these replicas on Esty for cheap. I’d love to get one to set my room decor to late Victorian/Edwardian era style. I’d love to dress in that style too on a daily basis.
Just bought one works great just make sure to replace the needle every yous
You do need to replace the soundbox (the round thing attached to the needle) with an actual vintage one if you intend to play records on it
I would love to own one of these! Thanks for sharing!
No you wouldn't. Go on Ebay and search for "Portable Wind Up phonograph". Make sure REPLICA is not in the description. You'll find a good, real, phonograph for a better price and that actually babies the records better than these Crapola's.
Thanks for informing me!
+Bette Davis maybe Im not looking in the right place but the real ones range from $800 to $5000, so where do you find one cheaper than the $150 replicas?

Just to name a few. If you are looking for a perfect condition 100% refinished etc. yes it's going to be $700. But You can find ones that work just great and have a few scuffs for character too. :-)
@@kekambas79 did you buy one eventually?
This sounds very good compared to other ones I've heard.
not a phonograph, not a gramophone; a crapophone. You can get a real phonograph and you will never regret it, they are easier to get than you think and not expensive, and it will open a new world of passion for music of the past and antiquity for you
These replica gramophones do a bad job... Yes... But what to expect for their prices? :-)
I think, these are great for decorative purpose or fun-use but not suitable for serious playback of records with historical value. The mechanics of these replicas are built unprecisely so records will wear fast. It is still enough to present it "in action" for a few times.
I don't like to call such device a "Crapphone" like other do here.... It is a replica, not original. When you buy it, you know that. It is made for those who only wants a decorative and old-looking vintage item. It was never made for collectors or hardcore-users.
I would call it "Grammophone replica for decorative uses only" :-)
I cannot wait to play mine. It iz for regular use ive dreamt of one since i was a child and my partner is having a replica made. It is being made right now. And I will not use it for decorative purposes at all.
@@LBABYLiN What do you mean you are having a replica made ? I have seen these selling for around £70 on ebay
@@digitalmediafan It doesn't worth it. The sound box isn't the only thing. The arm weight, the position of the needle on the record, the horn and the quality of the mechanism that rotates the platter are important too. A proper sound box doesn't improve anything if the needle is misaligned without a real chance to adjust it.
I completely agree with you. I have just bought one for decorative purposes. Even though it works, after a fashion, I intend to secrete a small Bluetooth speaker in the horn and play some quality recordings of old music from the internet. That will startle the oldies!
This is a great record player and record
Uma réplica maravilhosa e otimo funcionamento
May i suggest to anyone who wants a original horn Gramophone you can buy one for about £200 it wouldn't be a HMV one . But you can buy a original horn Gramophone from 1910 which is a nice machine and it wouldn't destroy your records so much better than a reproduction Gramophone which will be a disappointment .
Very Very good my friend, excelent.
Oooh, this is not how these are supposed to sound. (well yes, the vintage IMPORTS FROM INDIA are supposed to sound tinny, and distorted). Do yourself a favor. Get a real Windup up on Ebay. I purchased mine for 50 dollars. A 1922 Montgomery Ward portable phonograph. All I needed to do was buy a new reproducer which was 25 dollars. Total? 75 Dollars.
The cost of your Replica that damages records and doesn't even reproduce the sound correctly (so what is the point), over 100 dollars (I've seen some cost 200). Outrageous, you've been had my friend.
It is what it is. I dont think it sounds all that bad. Would be interesting to see what a good soundbox would do for it. The platter gives me sea sickness.
To most it might look fine (though the turntable's fluctuating might be a red flag), but anyone that knows their Gramophones will notice that this Gramophone is an Indian Reproduction one that is Crudely-Made and Taken From Various Parts and cobbled together to make it look Authentic. They tend to look just a bit too shiny for the supposed age and have a very tinny sound. If you want to see and hear the genuine article, here are some good links:
th-cam.com/video/QbsXLDNPvNc/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/fCaSjrtk0Eo/w-d-xo.html
This is a better reproduction, still horrible quality, and a tinny sound. Looks nice but they didn’t have embossed platforms or octagonal cases, and brass horns were very rare if it were antique.
With all due respect, what's the difference? Both sound equally good and/or terrible to my ears.
@@unkotowatashi The sound of an authentic gramophone/phonograph doesn't necessarily come through well over a computer, but in-person they sound much better than these reproduction ones. Compared to an authentic one, the sound is far too innty and I believe the shoddy construction quality can actually wear down records.
Not bad.. and looks good too
apparently my parents hate it because its old song.
And thats why we never get along.
Uma replica Maravilhosa e com bom funcionamento bonita musica Tambem
Wow ! What a nice crapophone ! Lol
Lindo gramofone uma replica com otimo funcionamento
The sound is very poor from this crudely made Indian reproduction it sounds like the needle which may itself be too thin,and is not contacting the record correctly and will be doing it damage. For the same money you can buy a refurbished genuine vintage HMV 102 or a table top model portable wind up gramophone they are a thousand times better
videocurios captain obvious! Ta ta taaAaah!
very poor indeed I'd like to get a motor for one of original parts
Very nice gramophone! Thanks for the video
Not legit. This is a Crap-o-phone.
Wow a coincidence to see you here Greg!
Is that a replica or an actual one that's restored
replica of a crapophone
KNOWN as frankinstien phonographs there new! they found a warehouse full of suitcase phonograph motors
how much are they to buy in good condition I have been interested in gramophones for years
Don't buy this. It's a cheap, crappy replica... You can find a working hmv 101 on eBay, it sounds ten times better and won't grind your records.
What song is that? It's fucking lovely.
Absolutely awful things. Anyone daft enough to use one will end up with damaged records. They are not called crapophones for nothing.
thanks.. I thought the same.. it probably should damage records pretty bad. using god turntable is not an option too probably, because it costs billions and this vinyl will destroy a head in minutes.. so i'd for regular usb crap turntable for 30 pounds.. way more better quality then gramophone, and head won't be destroyed so fast in there.
well would be nice to have them forever, that's why I don't choose gramophone to play them :) There's better 78rpm players for this :)
how will they damage your records and they sound beautiful and look beautiful as well
***** who even listens modern records on gramophone ;DDDD? it's for 78rpm records only!
These things sound like garbage compared to even the cheapest original machines. The needle on them also points straight down which cuts into the record more (45 degrees is about average). The tracking (how the needle is pulled relative to the grooves) is also awful on these as well which hurts sound quality.
You can get these on amazon france and maybe also amazon.com-not expensive, about $ 120
Can someone give me a link
can it do 33 & 45 or just 78?
Most I have seen are 78 but I was wondering if a gear could be added to change the RPM
Got our rings made out a soda can. 'Did the job' - but my fiancee was so grumpy! Why?
Having a phonograph and gramophone museum , i find this crappophones very ugly , the sound is very bad, and it is not even a copy of an antique gramophone, because those models
did not exist HMV,PATHE or Columbia did never manufacture octagonal or round gramophones, it is shame to put the HMV logo on it!
Hi... I've been wanting to buy myself a vintage turntable like those made by Pyle, but then I stumbled on your video and saw your vintage gramophone. Could you tell me where you bought it and how much? I really love the look of your vintage gramophone. 4/25/16 11pm
A word of warning, this 'gramophone' and many others like it were all made in India during the 1960s from crude parts ripped out of cheap portable gramophones which were in plentiful supply back then. These fake gramophones can easily destroy your records and sound absolutely dreadful thanks to the flimsy sheet brass horn and cheap sound box. If you want a gramophone simply for decoration then sure go ahead and buy one but be careful not to spend any more than around £70 - 80 on one. If you want to get a cheap gramophone for the intent of playing records, find yourself a 1930s portable gramophone which are quality machines that will do no damage to your records as long as you change the needle after each play.
I had a gramophone like this but it's a box version of this and if i crank it the motor is not last very long because its a crap o phone so the sound on mine its not good also that's why a crap o phone because its made in India so thats why the gramophone won't sound good even the motor of it so these thing are pieces of shit.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Uma réplica conhecido como gramofone indiano porém muito bonito e com ótimo funcionamento
who play that song ? thx
From the 1920s. LOL! Whomever sold this to you and told that line is laughing all the way to the bank. You know nothing about gramophones and should remove this video because it's spreading misinformation.
Can anyone tell me ..how much time gramophone run in one round
Sounds thin tone with distortion and no bass due to non compliant diaphragm. If you heard a proper gramophone you would realise how bad this is. A non compliant soundbox will ruin your records also.
Is this also a replica?
Yep..
Herrlich.:o)
What is the name of this music-piece?

its a reproduction. its a fake... a records killer...
what is fake the record it doesn't sound fake
Uggh... the record is good, and the gramophone looks good, but hearing it makes me cringe. Why? Because the player is a crappy replica made in India with old parts and junk. These things are made like garbage and they totally rip you off when you buy one. It's so much better just to buy an original one and restore whatever parts you need to. These crapophones are hundreds of dollars (found one once for $350), do not sound good at all, shred records, and are pretty much 90% guaranteed not to last. First of all, the needle, as someone said, should point at an angle, whereas these point directly at the machine, therefore cutting deep into the record. The "metal" horn does not make for very good sound; back in the day they used wood or brass, which sounded better. In the replicas the motor breaks your eardrums, where on real ones just a little oil will do. I've also read reports of the soundbox just falling over, the horn is too loud, and that it usually doesn't have enough power to last one play. As I said earlier, the prices on these things are outrageous, sometimes reaching $400. I bought a 1910 Columbia Grafonola off of Craigslist for $200, and all it needed was some oil, and I love it. Usually the real gramophones on Ebay or Craigslist are about $50-$200 for the "working, but need some attention" category. If you're lucky you find ones that have been completely restored, and those are usually around $5-1500. So it's better to spare your records for a little longer, get better quality, get something guaranteed to last, and just splurge and buy a real one.
sounds like a broken reproducter, might sound pretty good with a different one.
it isnt old dude
