The link sez it's a Swiss product introduced in 1926, so where do you get the Hungary 1917 theory from?!?

Thought the last line in Citizen Kane was nosebud.
Looks like a portable gramophone (insight provided by NEC MultiSync P750 - I've really enjoyed the ChromClear-crts...
). Do you also know it's modern counter part in form of a VW "Bully" Bus, that was actually going aroung the records? I don't have a picture, but you could watch it in one of the Turntablerockers videos for the "Classic" cd... Should be "No melody", iirc...

Skip protection? You'd barely be able to walk with them... how heavy they look... so I can't really see you skipping down the road... can you?
(I wonder if people in another 90 years time will be so sceptical of our 'portable' products as we, or at least I am of these... I wonder if the people of the future will also consider our music formats incredibly primeval
