Hi all, greetings from New Zealand, in Napier, Hawkes Bay presently 32dgrees.Warm alright! l see the problems folk are having with shipping. I use ,to get stuff to NZ, My Us. based in Florida they work in with DHL. More you send, at one time, the cheaper it gets. Had a lovely Victor III sent to me, then all the way from Auckland to my place of work. Weight of two boxes 44.3 pounds. Cost to get it from door to door $US 265 ummmm not bad for going half way round the world. Plus the seller knew how to pack a phonograph. Two huge boxes 56 centermetres x 61. Now anybody out there familar with European HMV G&T's Have just got one minus the horn , elbow, crank and bayonet fitting that keeps the horn elbow secure. The case is rather elaborate, almost Grecian looking with pillars or collums on all four corners. Wood is mahogany. Has the Gramophone and Typewriter on the back at the bottom below the bracket that secures the tone arm reproducer. The turntable is screwed in. On the front there is a pressed brass metal plague, in flowing Art Nouveau style, of four young ladies, rather impressive! 12 inch turntable. The motor reminds me of a Victor MS. What is it? I put it out to the universe, as well as the parts that I need? Someone from the mother country will know, and will the the bits I need!
