HMV 122 -78 rpm player repair - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

From Philip, I have an HMV122 electric motor 78 rpm record player. I can't get the motor to spin. It only hums. I have oiled it.

Can anybody can fix it for me? Been told it may be the start up caps on the motor.

However I am not gifted in skills for this job. Can anybody can fix it for me out there please?

I am Birkenhead based on Wirral Merseyside.

I'm in North Wales, near Wrexham. If you can get it to me, I'll be happy to deal with it.

I have an HMV 78rpm record player, the motor won't run, only hums.

I can't fix it, it's beyond me. I have no skills in this line.

I'm fed up with it now can't find anybody interested in doing it for me. Forum replies sent with outdated links, have not helped me any. I would have liked one that worked like I have seen on the YouTube.

I gave £50 for it plus postage approx 4 years ago, it has just been stuck in the loft. I think imight like to sell it on the way things are with no real help to make it work.
