Decca Portables with Reflective Horns, Worth the Money???

Post by Django »

I am not a fan of portables and I don't own any, but I do like the old Decca "Trench" portables. They have a style that I find appealing and I would like a machine to take out in the yard on a summer evening. They tend to be listed at higher prices than most portables. Are they worth buying?

Are they worth buying? Yes, if you like them... "Worth the money?" It depends on how much...
