Re: Colonial HMV 101 in Teak

Yes, on second thoughts the cabinet seems okay. I would need to get a number 4 reproducer for it though.
And the seller wants a 100$ for this....am probably going to pick it up later today.

Wanted" #4B HMV Reproducer

Does anybody have a 4HMV reproducer which was used in the 101 portable. I am looking for rebuilt one in a restored, working condition.
Or if anybody here can put me on to a trusted supplier or seller; that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Gramophones from Burma...one confusing machine!

Regarding your question - Nope, definitely no carrying handle on the side. But this would surely not be a portable? Not with that speaker attachment (which is non-detachable). Unless you mean that the original gramophone box was modified by someone down the line who took out the left wall and added ...

Re: Gramophones from Burma # 2 - An HMV 113 or ...?

Thanks for the reply Joe. Well, consensus now seems to be that this machine could be a smaller version as it seems to have a 10 inch turntable. Though I, for one am not sure if it doesn't indeed have a 12 inch as it seems identical to the 113 in every other respect. I will need to go back and look a...

Colonial HMV 101 in Teak

Hi everybody, Last year I had picked up a teak 101 in great condition (as it had sat in a trunk for 5 decades) and had even posted snaps on this site ...and last week, came across this machine in the back of a junk shop.

Gramophones from Burma # 2 - An HMV 113 or ...?

Continuing with the results of my gramophone hunt , I came across the below colonial model 113. Or so I thought. But after posting pics in another site and based on comments from people who seem to actually know something about grams (as opposed to yours truly who likes them just fine but alas...kno...

Gramophones from Burma...one confusing machine!

Hi all, Being slightly less busy the past week, I thought I'd spent my time trawling thru the country for gramophones. Apart from tons of crapophones and machines beyond salvage, I came across some machines that I could not identify (as in are they fakes, rubbish or good). Though it would be interes...
