Anatole's blips

By anatolebeams

I'd like to buy a Gramophone please!

It always amused me when I was a young shop assistant in a Laskys Hifi shop, that I was the proud owner of a clockwork 1920's music system.

This is the classic HMV Gramophone with Nipper on the side. An HMV model HDO 'Junior Monarch' with a Swiss horn. It works quite well, although the sound is a little scratchy and sharp. With the addition of an early noise reduction system (towel), the tones are softened and I found it a little more pleasing to the ear. 

Anyway, it has finally got to go, so pictures have been taken and the word is out on eBay and the Gramophone grapevine. I wonder if it will prove popular in this era of digital music devices?
