Portable Reel To Reel Universal Transistor Tape Recorder 1960's
When transistors started to be used in tape recorders, they become less bulky and less expensive. They also lasted longer as tubes would burn out or break if recorders got moved around a lot. The above photos are of a state-of-the-art high quality recorder from the 1960's. Note the knobs which were typical for that time period.
