CROSS-FIELD HEAD

Offers amazing frequency response and per­fect high fidelity recording at low tape speed.

AUTOMATIC DUST MINDER

Dust deposits on heads account for 90% of failures in tape recorders. This DUST MIND­ER   automatically indicates dust deposits on heads.   So, cleaning of the heads is dictated by the indicator lamp.

AUTOMATIC VOLUME CONTROL (COMPUT-O-MATIC)

This device provides automatically adjusted sound levels for perfect high fidelity record­ing. The operator is relieved of watching VU meters and manipulating the volume control.

AUTOMATIC CONTINUOUS REVERSE (REVERSE-O-MATIC)

This device automatically reverses tape direction under proper time sequential control.

MAGNETIC BRAKE

This device is engineered to bring tape to an immediate stop in a split second with tension control.

3-SPEED MOTOR FOR CAPSTAN DRIVE

3 tape speeds (7-1/2, 3-3/4 and 1-7/8 ips) are determined by electrical selection of motor speed. But, only the 15 ips tape speed is re­quired the 15 ips capstan and pinch wheel.
