Ultra-rare British-made Gramophone, Octagonal, HMV, Horn-type, Victor
This is an extremely rare octagonal gramophone manufactured by THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD, embodying the essence of British antiques.
The inscription MANUFACTURED BY THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD HAYES MIDDLESEX inside confirms its authenticity, as it was produced at the Hayes factory in the UK, considered the mecca of gramophones.
The octagonal wood cabinet boasts a higher level of ornamentation compared to standard rectangular models and is a design rarely seen in the antique market.
**Regarding Operation:**
We have confirmed that the turntable rotates when hand-cranked and that sound is produced when a needle is dropped.
However, the playback stops midway, so adjustments such as cleaning and oiling the spring and governor are necessary to enjoy the full performance.
This item is offered to those who can perform maintenance themselves or who will cherish it as a historical object.
**Regarding Shipping:**
As this is a precision instrument and a large item, it will be delivered via Packing and Shipping Tano-meru Bin, a professional packing and shipping service.
This minimizes the risk of damage during transit, ensuring a secure delivery.
