Minifon Attaché tape recorder and accessories with handbook, made by Protona GmbH, Hamburg, 1961-1962 and distributed by EMI Ltd in the UK.
The Minifon Attaché was a minature tape recorder, developed and built by Protona GmbH in Hamburg (Germany) around 1959 as the successor to the valve-based Mi-51 and the P-55. The Attaché is the first all-transistor recorder in the Minifon family and contains a 4-stage amplifier on a printed circuit board (PCB). It is also the first Minifon to use magnetic tape rather than wire.
Protona was taken over by Telefunken in 1962, and that the Minifon Attaché was in production right until the end of the Minifon product line in 1967.
