  • Notes

  • "Modern Console" gramophone, H.M.V., 1935. Although mechanically similar to the 157 of 1927 (it was, in effect, a simplified retractable model), the 153 was more modern in appearance than traditional, but also poorer. A cheap machine, it was the sad swansong of the mobile acoustic gramophone.

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

    Grammofono "Modern Console", H.M.V., 1935. Benchè simile dal punto di vista meccanico al 157 del  1927 (era in effetti, un modello rientrante semplificato), il 153 era d'aspetto più modernizzante che tradizionale, ma anche più scadente. Macchina a buon mercato, fu il triste canto del cigno del grammofono acustico a mobile.
