Oh dear I threw away hfs from that period mid this year.
However looking back to the start of hi fi, I wonder where you draw the
line. A friend of mine has a wind up gramaphone for 78s that sounds really
good with bass etc, and its totally acoustic, no amplification of any kind.
Much better than the dodgy things you see on tv and hear on radio which
sounded tinny.
I do not know how its done but it was obviously possible.
He tells me it is beginning to show signs of motor issues with loud clunks
as the spring inside springs as its grease has gone hard. Since he does not
want to be decapitated by the spring, he has decided to leave well alonde
for now.

I've recently been working though Wireless World issues from the 1930s and
1940s, looking for info on the ancient history of audio/hifi. As mentioned
in another posting, doing this at the Museum of Communications in Fife.
They have a fair collection of old mags, abeit with gaps and mainly on
'radio' and related topics.
It occurs to me to ask he
What other magazines from the 1930s-50s period would people expect to
provide reports, reviews, etc, on items like 'radio' and 'radiogram'
chassis or what we'd now think of as 'hifi' or 'audio' home equipment?
The museum do have Practical Wireless, and I think they have ERT. I know
ERT will have some service sheets that are relevant, but beyond that I
don't know enough about the old mags to know if they - or other titles -
would be good places to search though.
Also, anyone here have back issues of 'Hi Fi Sound' from circa 1970? There
may be one or two Armstrong reviews from it I haven't yet tracked down.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jim
