The recordings were cut into a recording disc on an "Ultratone," from Audio Industries of Michigan City, Indiana. The suitcase-size machine could record either from an external microphone or from a built-in shortwave radio receiver.A wellknown board member owns this grail.The machine is probably produced 1948.(or46?)
AUDIO INDUSTRIES MICHIGAN:Their models/trademarks were among others A.M.C., Aldon, Ambassador, Artone, Cascade, Cavenaire, Cromwell, Diamondone, Fedway, Plymouth...and Ultratone.
Another one made by the same company:
Whoa! That's really cool - to be as old as it is.
Yeah, looks like a recordplayer.
Very strange old unit.
It does´nt fit really here, but this remembers me something....
This moment i pulled out something special i found a few years ago - on the dump!!
Very old AIWA TP-30 portable magnetophon.
You can call it nearly "Walkman".
It works with batteries and has holders for a shoulderbelt. This holders also lock the cover of the spooles.
Funny, i never tested it.
I stored it as i found.
The condition is near new.
It´s very compact!
Look comparing with a normal walkman:

There were many types of the 3-inch reel to reel portable tape recorders.
Some were toys and some better types.
But Is there one with a radio in it too ??
I got one of those new as a kid for Christmas.
(The AIWA, not the "UltraTone")
