Sony TA-73
Sony ST-73

Rare 1976 little combo which seemingly wasn't made available in many markets.

Nothing spectacular here: just cute little components which served as previews of what was to come. Interestingly, the push-buttons would be reused in the Precise P7 components, while the knobs -in slightly altered form- would find themselves on the Falcon units. This "73" combo probably was meant as replacement for the just as cute 1969 "70" system: TA-70, ST-70, SS-70.

As contemporarily tagged by VolksWagen: small is big. Perhaps more precisely: Small is big enough for most people :-)
