  • Notes

  • H.M.V. Model 265 Gramophone, 1924. The 265 was Hayes' copy of the "Hunchback" Victrola, the story of which is told in Roland Gelatt's "The Fabulous Phonograph". It has a  No. 2 soundbox and the heavy tapered gooseneck tonearm found on all the larger H.M.V. models of the period. The cabinet retains all the features of the classic Victrola shape.

    Original description from: “Fonografi e Grammofoni” by Christopher Proudfoot, Italian edition “Silvana Editoriale” 1980.
