I have been trading in vintage gramophones and phonographs for thirty five years, ever since I opened my first shop in Lavender Hill, South London. I am now based at my home in Thames Ditton; postal address on the 'contact' page.
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 'Gramophones for Sale' and 'Phonographs for Sale' sections. I always have a certain amount of stock in duplicate (as at present six or seven Edison Standard phonographs) and other items passing through too quickly to be photographed.
Gold! The store room.
Having overflowed my home and storage garage I have recently taken a small shop close to Hampton Court station, initially to store the cabinet machines which have been cluttering my home in recent months. I am currently decorating and arranging the shop and will move some smaller machines there in due course.
Turnover can be fast and often machines 'come and go' without announcement. If you have any special wants please let me know and I will gladly tell you when I locate them. There is no commercial obligation on you whatsoever.
Silver! The cabinet shop
The new shop is slowly coming together as I have so much to do elsewhere. By the end of May it should be properly visitable. For the moment it is largely acting as a store for cabinet machines.
Bronze! The Glory Hole...
This is where old machines go to die and occasionally donate organs to better looking machines with ailing parts!
If you are becoming interested in the subject of early sound recording, why not join a Gramophone Society?
