Welcome


I have been trading in vintage gramophones and other technologies since 1976, when I opened my first shop in Lavender Hill, Battersea, South London. 

I now trade from my home in Thames Dittton, close to Kingston in Surrey and fifteen miles from Central London. Trains run half hourly from Waterloo to the end of the road adjoining mine, so I am easy to locate. Multimap link here.

I always hold a large and varied stock of machines which I guarantee historically and mechanically wherever possible. Most but not all can be seen in the Machines for Sale sections.

Many of my sales are made to customers who have previously indicated an interest in owning a certain machine. These will not appear on the stock pages. If you have special wants then just let me know. There is no obligation on you- you simply get first refusal.

If you are becoming interested in the subject of early sound recording, why not join a Gramophone Society?
