Sony Model TC-366
Three-Head Stereo Tape Deck

Here is the finest single-motor, three-head deck you can buy! The new slanted-base TC-366 features two major innovations in medium-price decks; Automatic Total-Mechanism Shut-Off and Hyperbolic Heads, which require no pressure pads. You can mix both microphone and line inputs, too. The TC-366 combines single-motor simplicity and price with three-motor performance. The result? Completely professional recording quality and tape handling!
