HMV MODEL 102 PORTABLE GRAMOPHONE

The HMV Model 102 is the most sought after portable at the moment and good examples are getting hard to find.
The 102 appeared in different forms from its introduction in 1931, until as late as the 1950s when it was made mainly for export, This example is type one with the over-complicated auto-brake. These always give problems but so I have replaced it with a simple manual brake that works well. Collectors will know that sound boxes used were the No.16, 5A and 5B. All are excellent but the No.16 is a sealed unit and and cannot be adjusted in any way. If in good condition, as in this case, the 16 performs really well.


This HMV 102 is in good condition, in a blue case, but with some loss of plating to the handle clips and catch. It is being offered at a very reasonable price. It plays well and comes with 100 needles and six 78s to start a collection.
Price, including delivery £170.00
I have other examples of the HMV 102 available in black cases and in very good original condition. No.5A/ 5B sound-boxes installed.
With removable record tray £220.00, without tray £200.00. Prices include p&p
