The machine pictured in Orthofan's post is not a UK Decca 130. I'm not sure what model that is but it definitely isn't a 130...
Hi Steve,
Sorry for the confusing post I made. I edited it so that it specifically states the machine pictured is NOT a Decca. I posted it just to show that the same sound box was used on various models, including one I have. (However, this US Decca-branded model
does come close --

As noted, the video link I posted does show (part) of a Decca 130. From what I can tell, it's quite a performer.

I also look forwarding to seeing photos of your portable.
