Additional Information
Czechoslovak Tesla reel-to-reel of the mid-1970s (mechanics derived from the Tesla B70), notable for an unusual diagonal reel placement.
Configuration: two-speed, four-track; single motor with a heavy flywheel; mono record with stereo playback possible via a dedicated preamplifier. Unusually, it plays in virtually any position (wall mounts were available) and avoided the overheating that affected some sister models. Mechanically complex.
