Description

Manufactured by The Federal Manufacturing & Electrical Corp, Brooklyn NY

From a 1954 New Product Report:
“… The FME recorder is a moderately priced ($139.95) portable with a 5 x 7 inch elliptical speaker that provides 4 watts of power under 5% distortion.
One of the features we liked is the quick stop lever, to be found at the left of the control panel. This may be operated manually or with an accessory foot switch. Both 3¾ and 7½ ips speeds are provided. The speed change is effected by turning the small knob at the top of the case. The recorder is dual track.
