A collection of two portable mid-century audio devices. The first is a manual wind-up portable gramophone housed in a wooden case finished in blue rexine with chrome-plated hardware. The interior lid features an adhesive label with a polychrome illustration of a dog listening to a phonograph, titled “His Master’s Voice” and inscribed The Gramophone Company Ltd. Hayes, Middlesex. The mechanism includes a chrome-plated tonearm, soundbox, and a manual winding crank stored in the lid. A small metal plate near the speed regulator is marked SLOW and FAST with a 78 indication. The second item is a Philips portable reel-to-reel tape recorder, likely an EL series? model, featuring a two-tone grey plastic and metal chassis. The device is equipped with white plastic piano-key transport controls, a circular volume dial, and a magic eye recording level indicator. The interior lid bears the raised lettering PHILIPS. The unit includes one clear plastic tape reel and is housed in a grey carrying case with a plastic handle.
