Additional Information
Originally selling for 900 USD in 1963, this was a pretty high-end contender for its day. Magnecorder was a serious tape recorder back in the early days as the company's finest moments occurred in the 1950s - early 60s and this machine represented the last hurrah before they sold out. Not many of them show up for sale but definitely worth taking on as a restoration project. Features plug-in boards which are easy to service.
