Yes indeed. E.H. Scott made several radios with record cutters or lathes,
the earliest being about 1933 with the Allwave Deluxe, also called the
Allwave 12 by some (not to be confused with the Allwave Superheterodyne or
Allwave 12 Two Dial). I have also seen RCAs and some others in the same
period with recorders.
The Scott Quarantas (the 40 tube Quaranta and the various Custom radios - 48
tube, 50 tube and 57 tube) and the radios following the Deluxe (Allwave 15,
Allwave 23, Allwave 27 and more) utilized Presto recorders in various forms.
There were a couple of other manufacturers who made the recorders such as
Federal with its PR-12 record cutter or lathe.
