The Mikiphone is especially innovative because of its use of a resonator mounted on the tone-arm, instead of a sound horn. Speaking of horns, check out the four-sided leather jobby on the &#8220;Gipsy&#8221; (above) and the stirrup that holds it in place. <\/p>\n<p> <center><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/streettech.com\/storypics\/portaPhone1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/streettech.com\/storypics\/portaPhone3.jpg\"><\/center> <\/p>\n<p> [Via <a href=\"http:\/\/we-make-money-not-art.com\/\" target=\"new\">we make money not art<\/a>] <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digg.com\/submit\" target=\"new\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/img\/badges\/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif\" width=\"91\" height=\"17\" alt=\"Digg!\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking at these amazing portable gramophones from the 1920s, you can&#8217;t help but think Swiss Army Knife, especially the Mikiphone (below) which folded out from a case the &#8220;size of a large pocket watch or a small cheese case.&#8221; The website has a couple of other crazy-cool portables, more pics of these two, even sound-samples &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/streettech.com\/?p=9498\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8220;Pocket&#8221; Gramophones from the &#8217;20s&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scitech"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
