  • Notes

  • Model H3-8E is a 4-transistor battery-powered portable gramophone, incorporating a four-speed manually-operated record player. The tone-arm is fitted with a monaural crystal cartridge.

    The H3-8E has now been replaced by the H4-8E. The primary difference between the two models is the use of a ceramic stereo cartridge fitted to Model H4-8E.

    Due to to the lower output from the ceramic stereo as fitted to the Model H4-8E, it has been necessary to increase the amplifier gain of this model.

    For details and specifications see Jamaica Model H4-8E.
