Additional Information
Tesla's final reel-to-reel model, effectively a facelift of the B115/B116 platform with technology dating back to the late 1960s/early 1970s. Three-head, four-track stereo deck with a single motor belt-and-idler drive, LED bargraph VU meters replacing the earlier needle meters, manual recording level control, and a built-in 2x10 watt stereo amplifier. The CM 160 was the equivalent deck-only version without the built-in amplifier, using its tone and volume controls solely for headphone monitoring.
