HMV Model 130 - The Talking Machine Forum I do not have an HMV 130 but do possess a Model 150 which may be similar for the purposes of this discussion ? There seems to be little difference between the 5A and 5B soundboxes, both of which produce a positive overlap just shy of ¼" with ½" needle projection This overlap is reduced to practically zero with a needle projection of ⅜"
Sound Quality: Colonial HMV 113 v HMV 102 - Talking Machine I concur with Steve regarding HMV 102 vs HMV 113 sonic performance The other advantage with the HMV 113 is that you can close the lid while (or whilst) playing While I love my HMV 113, it is no match against the large re-entrants and Orthophonics The HMV 102 wins hands down for portability The HMV 113 is quite heavy!
HMV 157 - The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs . . . The HMV 157 has an exponential tone chamber that's divided into two sections before joining at the mouth The larger HMV 163 was fitted with a four chamber horn--as were it's bigger brothers, such as the HMV 194 and 202--emulating the design of the Orthophonic Credenza's horn
Indian HMV flyers - The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique . . . If I correctly understand HMV never released a model with double spring motor to its domestic market in the U K I am really very curious to know the reason for that practice Some years back someone mentioned here about owning a HMV 100 in teak with a double spring motor cranked from right side of the case
Hmv model 101 - The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs . . . I can only speak for the UK where the 101 survives in large numbers, being HMV's best selling portable Try searching the "Sold" listings on UK eBay There are wide variations in condition and in prices achieved As a general rule, coloured examples (catalogued from 1927 onwards) make more than black ones
HMV hornless - The Talking Machine Forum Re: HMV hornless Post by nostalgia » Thu Feb 18, 2021 8:38 pm That's a good a good project for the upcoming spring When I rekindled my interest in gramophones during the spring of 2019 two of the first gramophones I came across were a Model 1a and Model III Hornless, which I believe are two of the very next HMV hornless models after your Model 1
Mixing HMV winding handles - The Talking Machine Forum This is the only HMV console in my possession It was situated in my sitting room for a couple of years, unserviced, I must have switched the winding handle from the 251 with the 157 I remember there is a winding handle put on top of the turntable of the 251 in the locker, and it must be the one belonging to the 157
Sound Comparison: Expert Senior or HMV 193 - Talking Machine The HMV is more boxy and punchy The Expert is clearer and sweeter To my ears vocals are obviously better on the Expert and dance music is more fun on the HMV Neither is "accurate" (a debatable point with 78s anyway), but the Expert is "less inaccurate" in the mid-range, while the HMV is slightly stronger in the mid bass
Featured Phonograph № 73 - HMV Hornlesss Model No. 1a That's interesting that HMV used different names for the same machines in Australia I also didn't know that the 1a was still made in 1926, I thought at least in the UK they stopped making it in 1923 Also, based on the same HMV book Glenn mentioned I thought that it was only sold with the Exhibition reproducer (in the UK)
Odd HMV 102 ? Colonial - Talking Machine Orchorsol wrote:If I were to be rather cynical the HMV transfer in the lid looks possibly as though it's been applied in more recent years and then "distressed" to blend in with the heavy wear on the rest of the case The scratches don't seem to match the scratching of the adjacent wood
