I have a machine similar to this that is Russian. I got it off Facebook marketplace for 100.00 and it's nearly perfect.

Excellent sound. If you want more volume you could try shortening the toothpick. Think using a toothpick is ideal with the highly compliant HMV 5(A?)(B?) soundbox. Also found this method of playing works best on only lightly worn records. The abrasive surface of worn records soon dulls the point.

And then there's "The Man I Love" by Nat Shilkret's Troubadours.

Did you these right out of the pack or sharpen them?

Used right out of box.
