Re: Nice cabinet but gutted
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....
