AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Small rare vintage Marantz / Superscope.
In fully working order.

The Superscope C-170 is a vintage, portable 'shoebox'-style cassette player and recorder released in the late 1970s. Since Superscope owned the renowned audio brand Marantz at the time, many of these units bear the inscription "Designed by Marantz" or are known under both brand names. The C-170 served as the base or entry-level model in the brand's C-1XX product line.
Key features & specifications
• Built-in condenser microphone: Allows for direct recording of speech or ambient sound without connecting an external microphone.
• One-touch recording: A mechanism that starts recording with a single press of the record button (often automatically engaging the play button as well).
• Power supply: Operates on both batteries (for portable use) and mains power via a power cord.
• Design: A typical, functional 1970s 'shoebox' design featuring a physical carrying handle, mechanical push-buttons, and an analog VU meter or battery indicator.

Clean battery compartment
Carefully shipped
No tape included
