Over 47 years, since my 21st birthday (1967), I have been privileged to be accompanied through my life by a monster antique gramophone. For a long time I knew it only as a present from my first serious girlfriend and preserved it both as a curiosity, for its rather aristocratic aesthetic and out of warm sentiment. More recently I have delved into its history and with the power of the internet, the marking of "Collaro D30" on its very heavy duty clockwork motor, and then the help of experts who I corresponded with, have identified it. It is indeed a most rare 'find', there being to my knowledge only three of this particular model known to have survived (there may of course be more), and it being a representative of what are widely regarded as one of the best (and one of the largest horned) mechanical gramophones ever produced.
