Hi, My name is Jeff Lee and I live in Tupelo, Mississippi. I've been collecting phonographs for about 10 years. Additional photos can be found on the links below the listing. Thanks for visiting my booth.
CONTACT THROUGH PRIVATE MESSAGE SYSTEM OR CELL PHONE 662-401-8529NEW LISTING!HMV 1-A Automatic - Rare custom finish and design - Taking Offers.This is an extremely rare British machine that came out one year after Victor's automatic changing machine (1927). Universal motor. #5a soundbox. I was told by an expert in the UK that this machine was either made for the flagship store in London or for someone in the royal family. They have never seen anything close to it. The things that set this machine apart are: Satinwood inlaid, Gold plated brightwork, custom designed grill, custom made remote pedistal. This re-entrant horned machine is in a class by itself! This is a big dog coming in at 43" wide X 20.5" Height X 24.5" depth. You can see and hear it play on youtube.
You can private message any questions or offer. I have a professional custom made crate for this machine and it can be shipped through Craters and Freighters out of Memphis.
Wood Victor Horn - $475SOLD!!This wood horn has been repaired on the elbow end. You can see the work in the photo link. it does have an original gatored finish and decal. There is a metal collar inside. This is not too noticeable when on a machine as it is deep inside. Even though the repairs are not perfect and I think could be made to better match the original, it is very sturdy and does not slump on the machine as in one of the photos shows. Currently the cuff is on there to fit an elbow (No elbow with this horn) with the pin at the top so on an elbow with pin at bottom, the decal would be upside down. Ask any questions as it does have issues but shows nicely on a machine. The pin is a rather large one but I think can be filed to work on smaller elbow slots.

The card has some water stains and marks but the photo is not touched or scared. This scan is about the actual size of card. Very clean photo and sharp. No writing on back. This entrepreneur had a nice setup to do exhibition shows and some great concert cylinders. I wonder how many dimes did he have to charge before he paid for that outfit?? Looks like he could have spent some of that money on the house!

His Master's Voice Model 152 - British - $400This little art deco style machine would be perfect to sit by your easy chair and listen to your records without have to get up. I've been told this machine is from 1936 and was the last of the spring driven floor model phonograph. Notice the multi finished veneers. Some chipping at the feet. The interior metal work is bronze. The reproducer has a chip where it attached but does not effect play or stability. Albums not original to machine (victor) Click this link for more photos:
