Additional Information
Towards the end of 1955 Pentron introduced a new range of two speed, half-track mono recorders which departed from the dual transport control system of earlier models like the 9TC and HT-225. These new recorders had a single control knob for all functions and were given the names Clipper, Pacemaker and Emperor. The Pacemaker T-90 was the middle of the range at 189.50 USD. It had a Unimagic single lever for play, record, fast forward and fast rewind plus a magic eye recording level indicator.
