Additional Information
A semi-professional recorder made by the Specto Company of Windsor, Berkshire, built around the two-motor, reversible Collaro Mk III deck. The three-speed deck gave credible wow and flutter figures and a wide frequency response to CCIR specification, allowing record and playback in both directions without reversing the reels.
