Reports

  • Only for the German market was initially offered a version different in technical terms, which can not be directly identified by a different device designation.
  • It lacked here the real rear tape conroll offered in all other markets from model start. The device intended for the German market had a head drum with only 2 heads, the international version had a 4-head drum.
  • The 4-head version was subsequently offered in Germany at the same price.

Important for second-hand buyers: Units with a 2-head drum can be identified by the missing "Tape Monitor" switch directly above the level control.
