The Talking Machine World, New York, April, 1928 79 ■ Oh, What a Portable!!! The Loudest and Clearest in the World You should stock this SERPENTINE PORTABLE because it is, without question, the loudest and clearest phonograph on the market selling at anywhere near its price, $25.00, in fact on many records a soft needle will have to be used unless dance music volume is desired. It only measures approximately 12x12x6 inches, is built of the very best materials obtainable, is unqualifiedly guaranteed both to you and your customer, is light in weight and will carry twenty double-face records. The tone arm fits snugly inside the box for carrying purposes. It can be replaced on the pin in an instant for playing. The SERPENTINE PORTABLE will play old records practically as loudly as the new electric records and it brings out tone qualities which have certainly never been produced on a portable of this size and for the price. In the playing of Grand Opera records each note of the complete scale, from the lowest to the highest, is brought forth with astounding volume and clarity. This portable embodies the famous SERPENTINE TONE ARM amplifying principle and, of course, a first class reproducer is furnished. By removing the sound box and attaching a radio unit this portable also becomes one of the foremost horns for radio reproduction.
