The Electra Candid Covert Recorder 1960's

The Electra Candid Recorder model 770 was a small portable recorder for it's time. It came with a diamond (fake) incrusted tie tack pick-up mic.The name might have been developed from the TV program Candid Camera in which covert video was filmed and jokes played on people who were covertly filmed for the TV show. At the end of the joke, old Allen Funt would tell the subject, "Smile Your On Candid Camera."
