Made in Japan
2-head deck: recording/playback + bias head
Dolby B
Suitable for Normal (Type I) and CrO₂ (Type II)
Front-loading with the characteristic down-fold loading mechanism
Analog VU meters
Memory stop
Manual selection of tape type/equalization

Dimensions: 41 × 14 × 33 cm

It is mainly a very solidly built deck with a distinctive mechanism. On examples that are decades old, the strings, pressure roller, idler, and switches are the main points needing attention.
Value today
Prices vary quite a bit depending on condition and maintenance:
Condition Guide value
Not tested / defective €50–100
Working, normal condition €120–180
Very good condition, fully working €180–250
Repaired/maintained €250–350+
Very nice specimen / professional overhaul €300–400+
This specimen is in perfect condition and was very recently renovated for the price of €160 excl. VAT. This is therefore not an attic find but a perfectly maintained unit. (see photo)
For comparison: a working unit was recently offered in the Netherlands for €199, while a very nice specimen in Belgium at Catawiki was estimated around €220. An excellent restored unit recently sold for €290.
Will be very well packed and insured for shipping. I will pay the insurance."
