- Bemerkung
-
Junior Eight is an amplified 3‑speed record reproducer, hand‑built and marketed “for the connoisseur”, intended for schools, home, clubs and institutional use. It uses a 5‑valve push‑pull amplifier feeding a 10 × 6‑inch elliptical loudspeaker, with automatic record change and speed control. The unit was offered in multiple cabinet finishes and motor options, reflecting Portogram’s mid‑1950s high‑fidelity line.
Feature Specification Models 8 versions available (likely differing in finish, motor and supply) Power supply AC or DC mains (exact voltages not stated) Amplifier 5‑valve push‑pull output Turntable 3‑speed autochange Speaker Permanent‑magnet elliptical Motors Garrard or Collaro (customer choice) Speeds 3⅓, 45, 78 rpm Cabinet Oak, Pigskin, Crocodile, Lizard, Blue leathercloth Price £31,13.9 tax paid Advertised in The Gramophone, October 1954, p. xlix, as a high‑quality record reproducer “truly worthy of the finest recording”, supplied to government departments, schools, education authorities and clubs. The mention of eight models suggests variants sharing the same chassis but differing in cabinet finish, motor type (Garrard/Collaro) and AC/DC supply.
