Vintage Phono Trix Portable Reel Recorder Set with Carrying Case
Phono Trix Portable Reel Recorder Set is what a typical portable tape recorder was like in the 1950's. The measurements where 9" width, 7" depth, 5" height in the case. Very bulky by today's standards. Not only is the recorder bulky by today's standards for a portable, note how big the microphone is. YOu had to plug a speaker into this one for playback. As you can see, the speaker was kept out of the unit to make it as small as it could be made.
