This beautiful EMG Mark IX gramophone (number 2048) was purchased by William Berndt with the assistance of Graham Rankin from John and Carrie Michaud. It was originally owned by Carrie’s father, A.L. Wehling. Initially the sound box was not working. However, William wrote (June 2017): I am happy to report that I have the original 2-spring soundbox operating beautifully, and did some conservative restoration to the horn. I have also included a photo of the Garrard 201B/1 transcription induction motor.”

William writes (March 2017): “The original soundbox is not working at present, so I improvised with a HMV 5A soundbox and teflon tape; I will rebuild the original two-spring soundbox very soon.”
