con--------trary to popular belief i can assure you this is not a original emg wilson horn gramophone.. in fact its a hmv 510 which was procured from a london auction house circa 1992 the machine in question had a damaged beyond repair lumiere pleating not to mention a very bad varnished paint job. .. this machine realised at auction 1,200 uk sterling. due to its condition.. IT then was frankenphoned a week later in a cardington lock up with original seymour and wilson etc fittings

@mrseymourwilsonginn More rubbish from the SHOESNIGGING RING MEMBER - this is TOTALLY genuine - it uses a UNIQUE tonearm MADE to be fixed the way it does - I proved that with the POrtable EMG see MY FORUM

THE CLPGS is full of FRaudsters and CROOKS

do they have this model in thames ditton ??

[EMGColonel]

@SIMONCOWELD No, they woudn't understand it there !

[EMGColonel]

@SIMONCOWELD Strangely the "Leading Dealer" when Viewing the Roger Thorne Auction (and when not shouting "He's Insane, He's Insane" ) was shouting loudly that this machine wasn't Genuine and "I know who made it " I didn't realise that The Leading dealer was THAT OLD ! He was also on the 'phone promising a half - witted Friend that he would be able to buy the Xb for under £3500 (THEY DIDN'T) He was also spotted at a Pub Later with the Foot Fetishist and other "Cronies"

oh colonel a chappy at the last peterboro fair said the grange oxford was a care home for dementia sufferers. the gentleman concerned had snow white hair and spoke with a irish tinker brogue he also sold gramophones ..anyway i didnt believe a word he was saying . anyway whilst i was there a lady turned up with a gramophone she had bought from him the year before . she wanted her money back . the gramophone was a decca trench . however the motor was a columbia . he told her it was original ..

[EMGColonel]

@SIMONCOWELD Id that "Chappy" say to the lady : "Ahhhh T's One from Me Own Collection so 'tis " (Whist not bothering to cover the label from a recent auction he had bought it from !)

Can you kindly tell me the mx numbers? Probably this ST. JAMES INFIRMARY is from a Grey Gull master, it sounds like a Mike Mosiello's outfit. Thx for posting it!

i was wondering colonel what the gramophone expert mr c proudfoot would make of it?? i understand he is a leading light in the gramophone world. . ..i also believe he is a authority on vintage lawnmowers .and as been interviewed by the daily newspaper ( independent 21st aug 95 ) when asked the question to why collect lawnmowers ? he replied ........................i do find them attractive.!..................­...................... which begs the question more than is wife. .......

[SIMONCOWELD]

hi colonel im trying to locate a copy of a early victor 78 record matrix number cc197986 . the song titles are as follows .......a side.........( i love my lawnmowers more than my wife ) b side........()..all my friends are rogues and crooks ) the vocal refrain i believe is the( rev christopher proud trench foot ) PS .... HE DOES ON EARLIER DISCS PLAYS THE FIDDLE !

[SIMONCOWELD]

[SIMONCOWELD]
