Pac Son MR-7007 is a red Italian battery-powered elegant device – a portable radio-gramophone from the late 1960s that combines a medium wave radio and a record player with a speed of 45 revolutions per minute. It feels like a stylish companion for picnics, trips, or evenings at the cottage – you just had to insert eight batteries and the music could play even without an outlet.
Inside, there's a simple monophonic amplifier with four transistors and a dynamic speaker with a diameter of 8 cm. The turntable uses a Ronette DC-400-P crystal pickup system and a drive via two idler wheels – a solution that recalls the mechanism of old clocks, where every cog has its purpose.
Its small dimensions make it a compact device that fits into a backpack, yet it never feels like a caricature of a music player.
