This Philips portable electric gramophone type 3902 Porteldisc was launched in 1941. The lid of the bakelite gramophone also serves as turntable. After removing the lid, the synchronous motor needs to be started by hand first of all This is done by holding the rubber drive wheel between your thumb and forefinger and give it a powerful spin. When the motor is running, the lid/turntable can be placed on the appropriate axis. A control light indicates whether or not the motor is running, when the light is on, the motor stands still.

The motor does not run.
