GRAMOPHONES and PHONOGRAPHS
Help & Information from Ian Calderbank - UK
As a private Collector here in England I will try and answer your Gramophone queries.
Website last updated 6 May 2017
I started collecting Gramophones (especially HMV), Phonographs and related items back in 1989.
GRAMOPHONES - HELP & INFORMATION
(Also Phonographs)
Common questions I am asked:-
Can you identify my Gramophone?. When was it made?. What's it worth?. My machine has a problem, can it be fixed?.
Where can I obtain Gramophone Needles?.
How do I operate it?. How do I Service it?
I have seen this Horn Gramophone, is it a reproduction?.
And so many more!
Further down this Web-page are details of models sold from my Collection where you can see what a Genuine HMV Gramophone looks like!
