My sister has a portable wind up 78 rpm phonograph. She is trying to find any information about it.
She has sent me a picture, but I don't belive that I can post a picture on this forum.
It is a portable player in a 13X13 inch covered case. The unique feature of this player, is that there is not a tone arm mounted on the base of the machine.
Rather the speaker and reproducer are mounted in the lid of the player. When the lid is lowered, the needle contacts the record and the reproducer works its way straight across the record, tracking perfectly to play the sound. The volume is controlled by a metal plate that covers or opens the speaker opening in the lid of the player.

I would be happy to send a picture to anyone who wants one for better identification of the player and also possible potential value of the player.
Phonograph identification needed.
