Here is a portable that was my grandparents. It was working just fine until I broke a needle off in the tonearm. Fixable.
Interesting item to take through airport security. Wouldn't let me see the scan :-(

It will go in the vintage camping kit.

Sweet. 

On the 78rpm note.  Anyone know a good source to get values on these records?  A lady at my veterinarian's office has a bunch that are in pretty good shape?

That is cool, but if you had to carry that plus a batch of records for the machine, you would get a hernia.   biggrin

Speaker is very clever. It is the curved piece of wood that also holds the tonearm.
The hold down is for the crank handle.
