AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The TC-250 A. is a quarter-track stereo cassette deck, very similar to the TC-350, but with two heads instead of the three of the TC-350. As with the TC-350, all recording buttons were hidden under a sliding panel directly below the two VU meters.

The deck can be operated both vertically and horizontally. A fully belt-free cassette deck produced wow and flutter values of less than 0.19% at 7.5 ips and less than 0.25% at 3.75 ips. Other features included automatic shutoff, a reel capacity of 7 inches, a headphone jack, two VU meters, pause control, and an integrated (DIN) recording/playback connector.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Bias frequency: about 55 kHz / Signal-to-noise ratio: better than 50 dB / Total harmonic distortion: less than 1% at a line output of 0 dB / Semiconductors: 10 silicon transistors, 4 diodes / Rewind speed: less than 4 minutes for 365 meters / Inputs: microphone: low impedance, 250 - 1 kOhm, sensitivity -72 dB (0.2 mV) high-impedance aid - sensitivity -12 dB (0.2 V) integrated recording/playback DIN connector / Outputs: line: 0.775 V / 100 kOhm integrated recording/playback DIN connector: 0.775 V / 500 kOhm / Semiconductors: 6 x 2SD64, 2 x 2SB382, 2 x 2SB38
