So to play the new electric recordings hmv came up with #4 swan neck tone arm design. The evolution of the hmv 101 by gramophoneshane » wed jun 23, 2021 6:44 pm they used a couple different motors in the side wound 101, and the soundbox changed throughout production from all brass to brass front with pot metal back, to all pot metal Hmv 5a & 5b soundbox differences by inigo » mon mar 19, 2018 8:59 pm yes, mike

I am planning to do similar recordings with my mobile phone, which seems to work finer that i suspected, judging by the youtube vídeo
I will prepare recordings of the same record with the 102 and 194 using both sound boxes
A true video for comparison. Got this crane cam with a motor, tried searching details for it and didn't come up with much Hoping someone will have a little more in sights for me By jaso » mon may 26, 2025 4:33 am got these remains of a hmv 118 from a fellow forum member john nearly a couple of years ago
It is pretty gone, but there is still ebough left to save it I like to think any gramophone can be saved as long as there is serial number tag left. The slot in the tonearm i think is just a fraction too far back so although the soundboxes go on, they won't rotate into position My hmv 162 takes all 3 soundboxes just fine, though the victor made exhibition is slightly less tight, however this could be for a number of reasons.
Below are photos of the machines, including various examples of coloured cased deluxe variants of hmv, columbia and the other usual suspects, 37 in total alongside some spare motors, turntables and winding handles.
Hmv 102 motor rebuild questions By mikeverrechia » mon oct 13, 2025 2:34 pm hi, i'm restoring an hmv 102 I have dismantled/cleaned the motor and fitted a new spring without injury Hmv v columbia by an balores » sat jan 06, 2024 9:06 am thank you both
From what i can make out, the hmv 157 horn has a wider conduit and a bigger mouth than the columbia version Might be because the tone arm of the hmv is a wider diameter than the columbia, necessitating a wider horn conduit for it. Maybe as an idea for people fabricating complicated items Discover if there is a demand for the item
