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 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
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 201 - The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs . . . HMV 192 HMV 511 HMV 211 HMV 162 HMV 261 All 5 of these cabinet machines sound better (in my opinion) than the HMV 32 The HMV 32 handles most vocals fairly well, and it reveals musical content from acoustically recorded disks that I had never heard when these records were played on older, external horn Victors or pre-1925 Victrolas
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!
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
Electric HMV 192 - The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique . . . The HMV 192 is an excellent performer, and does a much better job on electrical recordings than the earlier traditional pre-1925 Victrolas and HMV uprights with their Exhibition or #2 soundboxes In fact, it is amazing that a machine equipped with a mica diaphragm soundbox sounds as good as it does
HMV model?? - Talking Machine Re: HMV model?? Post by ts_13 » Mon May 10, 2021 6:29 pm OrthoFan wrote: Mon May 10, 2021 2:06 pm Judging from the decades old dust build-up under the turntable, I don't think the cabinet was recently slapped together
HMV 102 Motor Repair in UK - The Talking Machine Forum Garret wrote:Who in the UK can service a HMV 102 motor? I want to put a new spring in one, but don't have the tools here, and might as well get this thing a full rebuild Note that I live in Germany Thanks! Garret
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
