Remarks

• First presentation at the Leipzig Autumn Fair 1982.
• First unit of a new generation of cassette decks with electronic control and touch key operation.
• The later decks of the HMK series are also based on the SK3000.
• The drive functions were realized by electromagnets.
• The sound shaft was driven by its own continuously rotating and electronically controlled DC motor.
• While the design was trend-setting, the operating possibilities were quite limited (no seek, only 2 tape types).
• Rewinding a tape is very slow (>120 s for a C60 cassette).
• The connection possibilities via the only audio cable are also minimal,

Other models of the same series: SK3900
Same technical data, but cabinet width approx. 390 mm, adapted to the HiFi components of the System S3900
