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 24 July 2010
I started collecting Gramophones (especially HMV), Phonographs and related items back in 1989 and have also built up a large number of 78's by the Australian singer Peter Dawson.
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 - see what a Genuine HMV Gramophone looks like!

GRAMOPHONES & OTHER ITEMS
FOR SALE
FROM MY COLLECTION
My hobby takes up room in the house, it is time to reduce the number of items - my Wife thinks this is an excellent idea.
I have built up my Collection over many years by continually replacing when finding a better example of an item.
Hence the items available for purchase here are the very best found in 20 years.

BOOK ON HMV GRAMOPHONES
The book "HMV Gramophones 1921 - 1936" contains copies of the original advertising for most models produced during this period. There is much HMV and general information, also Operating & Servicing Instructions for the HMV Model 102, since all wind-up models are mechanically similar this applies to other makes of Gramophone.
