I have managed to get hold of a portable HMV player from the mid 1920's to listen the old way to my 78's and a portable HMV Monaco to listen to the older LP's. Now I'm trying to expand my knowledge of the era of 78 records and early LP's.
The age of my records range from the 12" of the 1900's to the 10" of the 1950's. The ones I enjoy listening to most are the Jazz, Blues and Big Band records from the 1930's onwards.
