HMV 5A 5B soundbox differences - Talking Machine It is a case of clear improvement; HMV engineers launched the 5A which was an English version of the no 5 (orthophonic) which sounded the same, but later they continued experimenting and finally launched the 5B, a definite upgrade of the boomy 5A The 5B lasted many years, while the 5A is much scarcer
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
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 Gramophone ID - The Talking Machine Forum I have what I think is an HMV Model 5 mahogany horn gramophone base The machine and reference numbers on the underside label are illegible but there is a date stamp of October 1916 It has a single spring motor which does not correspond with the HMV catalogue description for the Model 5 which details a double spring motor
Victor HMV exhibition - The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique . . . The L shaped slot on the Victrola VV-IX does seem to be fractionally longer (but only 0 1mm or so) than the one on the HMV 162, which seems to be enough to stop the pin on the UK soundboxes moving into the other part of the slot when the soundbox is rotated
HMV Junior Monarch: Speed Control Question - The Talking Machine Forum . . . At this past weekend's Stanton auction I picked up an HMV Junior Monarch From the start, I had questions about the speed control Looking at images on the internet, there appears to be maybe 3 styles of controls The first being the common HMV Victor thumbscrew going through the oval plate
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
HMV 5a soundbox - adjustment disassembly - Talking Machine The HMV 5a and Victor 5b both sound great, the Victor being more strident But the Vic 5a just has a totally acoustic sound to it, very tinny like I'm not even playing an orthophonic record Seems to have good movement of the parts compared to the other boxes and it's sealed, but
Opinions on the Victor HMV No. 4 soundbox - Talking Machine The HMV type was a single piece of circular rubber with a groove in the centre for the diaphragm to rest in The Ron Sitko type are supplied as two loose rings for front and back of mica They are good but personally I prefer using the Exhibition method instead
