It's hard not to be delighted when you switch this machine on and hear that crackly tune float out of the horn like magic! This unit may be a reproduction, but it works just the same as the original, complete with hand crank - no power needed! It works like a dream, and has a brake (effectively the on/off switch) and speed adjustment dial to fine tune playback. This reproduction was made in India probably in the 1970s or later, and comes with an interesting Indian record to get your collection started.
