The vintage gramophone market has an open secret: most 'vintage gramophones' are not actually vintage. After the 1980s, Japan and Taiwan mass-produced 1920s-style gramophones that look convincing but contain modern motors and electronics. These 'reproduction machines' are often sold in second-hand markets as genuine antiques.
A few key points for spotting fakes. First, check nameplates and serial numbers — genuine antiques have embossed or enamel plates; reproductions use stickers. Second, listen to the motor — genuine antique mechanical motors have a distinctive hum; reproduction electric motors are much quieter. Third, check the cartridge — genuine antique cartridges are purely mechanical (no electricity); reproductions usually have electronic cartridges.
FangService's gramophone line takes a completely different route: modern retro, transparent pricing. Every model's factory price and suggested retail are publicly listed, and nine models cover the full size range from desktop mini to floor-standing. You do not need antique authentication skills to buy a gramophone with guaranteed quality. This is not a 'compromise for not being able to buy a real antique' — it is an independent choice: recreating classic experience with modern technology is more reassuring than buying a 'vintage' piece of unknown authenticity.
