Additional Information
A dual track, dual speed recorder with two heavy-duty motors, the Masco 52 took up to 7 inch reels and had separate inputs for microphone, radio or phonograph. The push-button speed changer also automatically adjusted equalisation. This recorder was very similar to the Masco 37. Outputs included extension speaker (8-16 ohms) and external amplifier (500 ohms). A neon record level indicator gave peak level reading and the unit was finished in two-tone tweed and calf-trim fabrikoid.
