Subject: [Phono-L] Questions for ye Brits or HMV Collectors
Greetings!
I just purchased a lovely, dark oak, HMV, Model 163 Gramophone that is
rather similar to an "Eight-Eight" or "Eight-Nine" Orthophonic Victrola.
The
entire cabinet of ample proportions is devoted to the horn leaving no
room
for record storage. It has delightfully excellent sound quality and
sports
an "automatic" shut off that works perfectly with Victor "VE" (scroll)
records.
The machine is missing its waste-needle cup which brings me to the first
question: Though the empty space would no doubt contain a generic Victor
waste-needle cup, it would set a bit high and there are two slots on
either
side, cut into the board, which implies another contrivance. So, I
believe
I am looking for something with an appearance presently unknown to me.
What is it and is there a British "George or Dwayne" out there who may
have
the part?
Also, the machine has 4 caster wheels with solid rubber "tires." The
rubber is shot. Who knows where I may I inquire for replacement or
alternative
tires?
Thank you in advance for any response,
Edward,
in Zigzag, Oregon, USA
