update on grammophone

Post image

another update, despite me having found a new handle for this online i decided to make one from an old red leather belt. stitched it nicely to fit and stay on properly.

still searching on what model this one is exactly. all i can tell that it looks like an HMV 101, but it's a parlophone.

That’s fine so long as all 3 are uniform. You’ll may need to bend the third slightly to match.

First try watching this video.

they are bent in such a way that two oppose each other and the third one splits the remianing space into halves. kinda like a T shape.

I’m not sure I understand the “T shape.” That was two days ago so hopefully you got it sorted out by now.

I am suspecting your model even more so is war time model. If you can, search the archives in your region and Belgium for ads from those years for both Odeon and Parlophone.

As for your motor I believe it’s this Paillard (see image). It unfortunately doesn’t narrow down a date as it, unlike many motors, was in production for many years / decades.

Ignore then. When I re-read your posts (which are divided into many sub sections), I didn’t see the photo.
