Yes, it s mechanical platter and electric pick-up. If it was an AC set, it would had an electrical motor for the platter. Thank you for your comment. Amongst airplane luggage portables of '39-'40, it's one of the most difficult to find. I've done a little research and see that there was similar type sets by other manufacturers, but I've never seen any for sale. Only one or two of these Philco's. They were likely the best sellers of them all.
