  • New Brunswick Portable

    The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. has announced the new Brunswick portable, which will be known to the trade as Style No. 101. This little instrument comes in genuine leather, natural finish, at $50, and in black leatherette, at $45.

    The lid is constructed to carry twenty records. These records are held in a special compartment, which may be completely removed from inside the upper lid. The corners are reinforced and held by solid rivets. When this compartment is removed from within the lid the latter may be lowered while the instrument is playing. When ready for traveling the tone arm and winding crank are held securely in place by special brackets placed within the amplifier. The turntable is ten inches in diameter, but there is plenty of room to play twelve-inch records.

    The hinges and locks as well as the double corner support are also held in place with solid rivets and in conjunction with the lock for securing the top lid there are also three strong solid brass snaps, two of which are utilized in conjunction with the lock for the top lid, while the third holds in place the door which covers the amplifier.

    Similar to the Brunswick Cliftophone.
