Title: Gramophone His Master's Voice model 4
Post by: quyssa11 on April 04, 2013, 09:56:13 AM: Hello!

I recently found a gramophone, His Master's Voice model 4. I searched google about that model..but couldn't find anything,so I wonder if you guys could help me and advice me if it's any worth :) . It's a little dusty..but my grandfather told me that it ,,can sing''.Unforcenately it does't offer any other information on box or it's back.

Thx for you're time..have a nice day and please sorry for my english.

(My old vinyl resides in a big box in a horse trailer.
I would hate to admit that it contains everything from Frank Z to Frank I. :P ::))

Post by: KC on April 06, 2013, 10:33:05 AM: W have had items from His Master's voice on here before. They don't generate alot of $$ if you are trying to sell them. Not as uncommon as you would think.

A really neat piece of history!!!

Post by: Ipcress on April 07, 2013, 10:26:00 AM: They can sell well. Depends if it is still working and has the original parts.

Looking at the condition of this, i'd say about £40. Some can do £200. Standing cabinet variants can make thousands.

Post by: greenacres on April 07, 2013, 09:25:03 PM: Several years ago I posted a Peter Pan O gram. It's a portable phonograph. I could not find the post. I had taken it to "Antique Roadshow". It is smaller than yours and in better shape. It also has a lizard case. They told me that mine was worth $500. Mine is different like I said, but similar idea.
