Folks, I recently acquired a Deutsche Grammophon portable very similar to an HMV 101. The motor-board is painted wood with a plate which reads:
Grammophon - Niederlage JOHANN ARLETT Geriohtlich Beeid Sachvarst?ndiger F?r Die Erzeugung Von Sprachmaschinen U. Platten WEIN, VII Kirchengasse 15 It is cover in a very thin cloth backed black leatherette type of material. The tone-arm is very similar to the HMV 101, but doesn't stow like it, it has a clip at it's base to hold it when stowed. It has a "Polydor 28" motor. I can't seem to find anything on the 'net regarding DG phonographs. Any help/info would be most appreciated. Below is a link-which I hope will lead to a photo of it on Photobucket. I hope that's alright? http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r126/steamerpunk/?action=view¤t=DG-12.jpg I have asked a few other on-line sources-sorry if you've read about this one already. I have gotten an excellent translation of the plaque and some information on Johann Arlett. I'm hoping someone here has some knowledge of D-G portables, model. years of production, etc. I'd also like an idea of rarity-so I can get an idea of what level of restoration I should undertake. Thank you in advance for any help. Regards, John B.

All you know is what the max bid of h***9 was and that phonogalerie met the ebay minimum increment for the increase. There is nothing strange here. This is the normal bidding behavior of the single FB digit midget bidder. They just keep sending the boy out to bid. Merle Sprinzen wrote: > Item number 200195851628.

In my search, I found a magnificent unrestored but clean Model F Triumph that had been listed just a short time earlier. It had an oak cygnet horn, O reproducer, and sat on its original drawer-front cylinder cabinet with carved claw feet that was chock full of assorted cylinders. I saw at least one maroon opera box in a photo of one of the open drawers. Something highly unusual . . . the umbrella signature/Trade Mark decal that is typically on the front carriage support casting was instead affixed to the rear casting! The whole shooting match had a Buy It Now of $3500. I told my wife I was buying something on eBay. She asked, "What?" I replied, "I'll tell you as soon as I hit the Buy It Now button." I hit the button, the page reloaded and . . . I wasn't the buyer!!! Someone else must have hit it a second ahead of me. It took me a couple of hours to get over my disappointment. Did anyone happen to see that beautiful Triumph? The seller was unwilling to ship, so on the bright side, it saved me a trip to New Jersey!
