DECCA PORTROLA
A complete all electric, radio-gram in the compass of an ordinary acoustic portable. Something that- until the introduction of this truly remarkable little instrument was considered out of the question, But the seemingly impossible has been accomplished and DECCA- the inventors of the first acoustic portable now introduce the world's first portable radio-gram.
A marvel of ingenuity, the 'Portrola' is distinguished not merely for its portability and novelty, but it really is a highly efficient radio-gram, giving superlative results on radio or records and challenging favourable comparison with most multi-valve receivers.
