Beautiful vintage Sony Cassette Deck, freshly tested and working nicely.
From Sony:
“The Sony TC-K61 is an outstanding expression of Sony’s ability to deliver the latest and best in tape technology.
The K61 provides the superlative speed constancy of Sony’s two-motor drive system, controlled by a logic microprocessor IC. The microprocessor, which receives commands via feather-touch push buttons, executes them via transport solenoids.
The result is smoother operation, greater flexibility, and the capabilities for timer operation and remote control.
Moreover, the K61 incorporates Sony’s exceptional Sendust and Ferrite record/play head, four gap erase head, LED Peak Program Meters, and a host of electronic refinements.
Yet for all its sophistication. the TC-K61 remains easy to operate and reasonable in price.”

Braun Atelier C1 Slim Cassette Deck — Motorized Drawer, Japan
70 mm tall, almost exactly the height of a cassette case, and that is not a coincidence. The tape does not stand upright behind a door the way it does in every Japanese deck of the era — it lies flat and is drawn in horizontally on a motorised tray, the mechanism disappearing into a slot barely thicker than the cassette itself. The C1 arrived in 1980, two years before a CD player made that gesture familiar. Built for Braun in Japan, the matching deck to the Atelier A1 and T1. Good condition.
