Designed by the gramophone pioneer Captain H.T.Barnett M.I.E.E. and sold by Murdoch's, the Beltona Peridulce was an interesting British machine of quality.

It anticipated EMG and Expert in having a papier-mache/papier-applique horn, and the large diameter soundbox had an aluminium diaphragm, an advanced feature for 1924.

The cabinet is nice enough to make you want to build a frankenphone....
