[Ron L'Herault]

I get "The Sound Box" but did not start subscribing in time to see that
issue.  Drat.

There are couple of folks in our Phonograph Society who subscribe to that
publication, I will check and see if they have the issue. Thanks. Every
article that I have ever seen on Suitcase portables, seems to stop around
1930, and I have never run across any information on the later issues by
RCA/Victor. This one would be an exception if it goes into detail about the
crank Suitcase Portables issued in the "Electric Era". Looking forward to
seeing it.

There was an extensive article on the RCA suitcase portables in The 
Sound Box a few years ago. You might see if back issues are still 
available.
