Portable electric gramophone |
|
Functional design, entirely made of Bakelite with
a brown leather handle. The lid serves as turntable. The
phonograph is equipped with an electric synchronous motor. This
type of motor has to be "helped" by giving the turntable a little push with your finger. A
red indicator
lamp, next to the arm, lights up the power is on.
A needle cup is also available. |

The connecting wires are stored under a cardboard
lid below the unit. |
|
The electromagnetic sound box (needle pressure 160 g) is equipped
with a removable steel needle. The needle is kept in place by a magnet. |
