The Unknown

My wife found it in a second-hand shop in Sandwich, Kent, England. The man in the shop did not have much information except that it was Austrian (he thinks) from the 1920's. My wife, Penny, knowing that I always wanted one of these machines bought it as a Christmas present.

The machine is in good working order, although the speed is a bit temperamental. I need to look into how to fix that.

She has now started me off! She doesn't yet realise that it is my intention to use this as a base for a collection! This will, however, probably take some time, as I need to convince her that it is worthwhile. (I'll play the "ecology" card I think!).

Anyway, any information would be gratefully welcome, although I realise it could be one of a million models.

I've also been in contact with Chris Hamilton of the City of London Gramaphone Society. He's also going to try to identify it for me.

Thanks in advance,

All the best,

Marcel Brown
