I tought that I've bought an "ordinairy" electrified HMV/Electrola 102 portable gramophone to scrap for parts, but it looks (to me) as an all original hybrid gramophone.
I will post some pictures later today/tomorrow.
Some (of the weird) details:
- Dual brand Spring/Electrical motor
HMV/Electrola #4 soundbox + Electrola electrical soundbox (with holding clip)
Original HMV/Electrola 102 case without the hole for the winder on the side, this one has the hole at the front
Tonearm like the 101
Motorboard looks more like the 101
Combined electrical and mechanical start/autobrake/stop mechanism
More later.
Has anyone info on this German HMV/Electrola (106-UP)?
