Folks, I recently acquired a Deutsche Grammophon portable very similar to an HMV 101. The motor-board is painted wood with a plate which reads: Grammophon - Niederlage JOHANN ARLETT Geriohtlich Beeid Sachvarständiger Für Die Erzeugung Von Sprachmaschinen U. Platten WEIN, VII Kirchengasse 15 It is cover in a very thin cloth backed black leatherette type of material. The tone-arm is very similar to the HMV 101, but doesn't stow like it, it has a clip at it's base to hold it when stowed. It has a "Polydor 28" motor. I can't seem to find anything on the 'net regarding DG phonographs. Any help/info would be most appreciated. Below is a link-which I hope will lead to a photo of it on Photobucket. I hope that's alright? http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r126/steamerpunk/?action=view¤t=DG-12.jpg I have asked a few other on-line sources-sorry if you've read about this one already. I have gotten an excellent translation of the plaque and some information on Johann Arlett. I'm hoping someone here has some knowledge of D-G portables, model. years of production, etc. I'd also like an idea of rarity-so I can get an idea of what level of restoration I should undertake. Thank you in advance for any help. Regards, John B.
