Welcome!              


The month leading up to Christmas provided me with orders that will take until at least the end of January to fill from stock as machines currently in stock are restored and delivered. As a result you are unlikely to see much if any new stock added to the For Sale pages until the beginning of February.

That is not to say that I have stopped buying- I haven't- and welcome any offers of items that you might wish to sell.  However, with my current workload I still won't be 'putting up' new items for a couple of weeks.

I have been trading in Gramophones and Phonographs for over thirty five years. 

Over this period I have handled just about everything that the subject has to offer from humble portables to 'tinfoil' Edisons from the beginning of recorded sound history.


PC170014_1
Now sold; An unusually-decorated Swiss German
horned gramophone first vended in Sweden and with
a Swedish dealer's plaque on its motor board.


PC170021_1
A 1930-32 Columbia table model; £160 for collection.


I always hold a varied stock of machines which I guarantee historically and mechanically wherever possible. Most (but certainly not all) can be seen in the 'Gramophones for Sale' and 'Phonographs for Sale' sections. Turnover is 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 if I locate them. There is no obligation whatsoever to take me up on what I find, you just get first offer!
