I love seeing all these HMV 102 videos uploaded this year. I just got a green one yesterday and it's been good fun! That record seems a little off-center and it still tracks it incredibly well!
@@victrolalover7795 Mine is a 1935 102 with no letters. The No. 5B had a rattling issue which I fixed by disassembling, taking the solder out, and re-soldering. I was impressed by the loudness when I first played it also since I've never owned a gramophone before and of course I accidentally used a thicker needle provided by the seller by accident. Even with soft tone needles which I use pretty much exclusively, it's still not exactly quiet with electric records. Sticking a pair of socks takes it down considerably and if you want to do that yourself, the horn cavity is on the front left when the gramophone is facing you.
I'm still learning about gramophones. I thought that all gramophones could only be played at 78rpm, but the silver piece at the bottom left corner looks like its to change the speed. Is there a way to change the speed?
Having one of these is very impressive let alone a color one!!!

I got a 102 D in black a few weeks ago and it blows my other machines out of the water! I must say these things sound quite good.

I have a red 1949 E version of the 102 and its really good, sounds better than my columbia 204.
Your Gramophone is perfect, very good.
Thank you 😁
Very nice 102! 😃

No, it is only for small adjustments, like the pitch control on modern record players.
Is this actually a new model manufactured recently? I didn’t think any manufactures made these now a days.
sadly this was not manufactured recently because they don't make these any more. this specific machine looks like it was made around 1947-1958
Has it been refurbished or has it been looked after well for all those years? It looks and sounds great.
@@bestrickie2 It has been refurbished. i bought it like this.
@@victrolalover7795 I looked up details and the serialnumber, and as far as I know this one is from 1934. it is a 102C
@@Koekiemonster67 ah I understand. Well done.
Extremely 🎉🎉 please I also searching for
Song name?

Completely wrong music for this elegant box..late 20s,early 30s might be appropriate
They made these until 1957…
That’s like saying you can’t play a song from 2015 on a ipod from 2007
