Default Re: HMV Gramophone, fake?

Im afraid it is a fake. HMV never made such a model. This one originated in either India or China, and can be bought here in Australia from the Importers for $135.
You should find the same machine listed in this catalogue- the Al-1220 I think.

And a little more info here.

I wouldn't recommend playing any good or valuable records on these reproduction machines. The soundbox employed is of a very poor design, and excessive record wear will result from it's use.
