HMV Model 461 Table top machine in mahogany
Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2008 1:23 pm
Has anyone here got an HMV Model 461?
To the uninitiated, the 461 was a Table top machine produced in 1926/7 at a time when HMV were using up existing cabinets made for the then defunct Lumiere table model. The 461 has an identical cabinet with quarter veneered flat top and is of rather plain and "square", abeit deep appearance.
The 461 should have a No. 4 soundbox and tone-arm with gilt fittings inside and will have an adapted case inside to suit an internal horn similar to the HMV 101 portable (wrapping around the motor and ending towards the back of the case rather than 2 doors to the front of the machine etc as was "standard").
If you have one you wish to sell or if you know someone who might be pursuaded to part with their gramophone, please contact me on:

I am specifically looking for an all-original condition (not a repolished cabinet) example in MAHOGANY please!
TOP CASH PRICE paid for the right example or finders fee for anyone who can assist!
