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
Project HMV 118. Too far gone? - The Talking Machine Forum — For All . . . The most difficult part is the 118-only tonearm clip Gonna make it next and have chrome plated with rest of the shiny parts The fact that I also got a pristine 118 makes it possible for me to replicate the needed parts Modified speed control parts from a HMV 109 to match the 118 specs Eduardo kindly made copies of my original 118 transfers
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
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 No. 7 with distinctive case - The Talking Machine Forum — For All . . . I've been watching and bidding on a HMV No 7 with mahogany horn today, that has an unusual applique to the front panel and both sides Initially I thought it must have been the after-market work of an enthusiastic cabinet maker but looking at the slightly unfamiliar dimensions of the cabinet, proportions and shape of moldings (it certainly
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)
The Sound Comparison between HMV 202 and Two-Door Credenza The HMV sounds to me somewhat distant and even muffled in some passages Mind you, both machines are very impressive, but I prefer the Credenza for this recording However, I believe that the real test for these Ortho machines is how they reproduce the full symphony orchestra, which is probably the most complex sound environment in the musical
Unknown Colonial Models - The Talking Machine Forum Today I have discovered for myself two Table Grand Models of HMV, which I never heard about before: Table Grand Model T C M (polished Mahagony) and Table Grand Model I B O (Teak wood polished oak finish) circa 1920 I tried to find I B O and T C M in HMV's European catalogues but could not find any reference about them
HMV 157 with Sound Box no. 5A (Adjustment) This is a common problem I have found with HMV motors of this period They used a graphite grease in the spring barrels that sets hard like cement This causes the springs to stick together and not slide easily as they wind or unwind The sudden pressure released from a sticky spring causes the ‘bumps’ you are hearing
