It Is In Pristine looking Condition. But, because of not having any knowledge of It myself,
It's " UNTESTED " as far as It's working condition.

Mohawk Midgetape - a series of portable tape recorders manufactured by "Mohawk business machines corp. Brooklyn 33. N.Y. ", USA. It is known about the production of four models in this series, - Midgetape 44, Midgetape 300, Midgetape 400. and Midgetape 500 "Professional". I have three working models of the tape 44, 300 and 400. The first Midgetape 44 began to produce in the early 50s under the name Mohawk Midgetape BR-1, and they were all assembled on vacuum tubes. As accessories manufactured external amplifiers - speakers.
In the following, transistors 300 and 400 models, there is a built-in amplifier with a speaker, made in the form of a removable module (Transistorized power amplifier 402). It is located in the battery compartment, and takes place, which in the model Midgetape 44 took the battery power of the anode tubes. In Midgetape 500 "Professional" above the module of the amplifier there is an indicator of a level of record. Otherwise, the tape is very similar to each other, building and kinematics are nearly identical. Dimensions of tape 220 x 100 x 55 mm. Weight 1.2 kg. The speed of the magnetic tape 1, 7/8 inches per second.
Thank you for looking.
