- This Grammophone sure is something else than my Disc Grinder - as I usually refer to the Russian Portable, which is rather poorly made.
The HMW on the other hand, has been subject to nothing but neglect during the last 90 years. Part 1 deals with the motor, which needs its spring repaired, a bearing remade and a thorough cleanup. Part 2 will then concentrate on everything else - the cabinet, tonearm, Start-Stop works, hinges and so on. Enjoy!
Very good. I had a similar problem with a spring, except the outside end was broken and it was a hook, not a teardrop type. Very neat repair to the spring and I loved the way you bushed the shaft too. Wouldn't have occurred to me to turn the shaft to fit the bushing but I can see it would run more smoothly. Thanks 😀 👍
Thank you :D
The shaft had a mushroomed end, so turning it really was my only option.
I had a gramophone exactly like this in the early 1960s. It died - the governor globes flew off one day with a terrible clattering. If only you had been there at the time to repair it! Thank you for this wonderful, fascinating and rather touching video - I enjoyed it very much. I'm deeply impressed by your knowledge and skill.
Excellent Restoration Work.Spring Barrel job and the bushing innovation was outstanding. Final greasi2of the worm drive and governor system would f culminate yo a perfect finish.Kudos !👌👌
I have recently acquired an HMV No. 104 and am in the process of giving it an overhaul. Your videos have been so useful, could not have done it without them. Wish I had noticed the part about noting the direction of the spring before putting mine in backwards. Great work.
Your words honor me - I am glad the videos were helpful. After all, that's what I make them for.
Enjoy your Gramophone!
I also have this exact model. But i am looking for it's handle and sound box.
Sehr gut!! Gutes Video! Glück gehabt, dass sich die Feder wieder hat hinbiegen lassen. Gute Neues Jahr!
Die Federenden sind stets der Schwachpunkt - dass eine Feder mittendrin bricht, passiert selten. Aber Glück gehört natürlich trotzdem dazu. Guten Rutsch!
Hello, as you said "neglected" and more: poorly maintained as we can see on the more or less "rivet" and the tail of the flat spring. Interesting job, thank you showing us. By the way good music (dedicated!). Happy new year 🌲🍹🍸🍰🥂🌲
It must have been in for repair at the local farmer or blacksmith... Remember that times were tough and money was scarce so it may have been no option to send it to a proper repair shop. And not everybody just happens to have the proper tooling for the job, either!
Happy new Year to you, too!
1:51 that's a dust cover for the motor :)
Yip, I've since found that out, myself.
Sometimes, the solution is closer, than you think ;)
Excellent work 👏👍
Great video. Lucky you had a spring. I just got onw and it has no spring so thinking of making one rather than buying one.
1'48" This is the external cover for the no. 69 motor, held in by three screws. Same kind of motor (no. 59) was used on the 101 portable (later versions). The steel cover was to prevent oil and grease from getting over the interior and also to reduce motor noise. ruclips.net/video/2nuUeHv-v6k/видео.html
Hi, i have this exact model. I found it from my grandma attic. I don't know how it works and notice it's missing it's winding handle and sound box. Can you guide me in finding its parts
Why not one from Germany? There are some very nice 1930s made in Germany phonograph's, even portable. They sound excellent too.
I gladly accepted what was under the christmas tree xD
Thanks!
I recently found a Victorola VV-IX for $110 “locally”. I think the motor spring ends are broken off because it winds up and slips when cranked. I need to know though, can these machines play modern records? I’ve heard both ways.
Yup, exactly once.
If you have a record you don't value, give it a try - it's quite an entertaining show watching the shavings fly :D
Quantos metros tem esta mola...e ah largura
I love Phonographs
dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother lately =)
@Emilio Blaine Yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D
@Emilio Blaine yup, been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
@Emilio Blaine yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
That is quite complex ad scam scheme
Hi, thanks for the video, this is really interesting. I am doing the same with a HMV 101 portable gramophone. What did you use to clean off all the old grease from the motor?
Thanks! I used brake cleaner to dissolve the grease - but I suppose engine cleaner or contact cleaner would work just as well.
Hi I have just serviced my 104A but when I put the tone arm on the record it stops ..?????
It was working be for hand.
Good question - it could be the governor bearings set too tight or the mechanism bolted in wrong so it rubs and loses power,
or maybe the spring isn't engaged properly?
Cheer’s boss .
I have his masters voice no 103 does any body know where can I find informations about it?
Google?
