Give the motor a good clean & lubricate gears & bearings, then replace the rubber gaskets on the sound box end result will be even running motor & excellent tone from the soundbox 😁
Cheaper end? Shows how expensive goods were in real terms back then. Record issued Jan 1927, so similar date to machine. Great restoration & excellent sound.
Thanks Paul , we just do not realise just how expensive these were back then £3 to us would not even get you a pint of beer , but back then a weeks wage was around £2 a HMV 101 portable in coloured leatherette was £8 around £550 in todays money bit of an eye opener !!however the build quality & sound is far superior to the Itonia
