Sony TC-377
(1972-1977)

Sony's Volks-RtR - simple, cheap and efficient.
F&F heads, SYMPHASE/UNIPHASE correction circuit, 3 speeds, 3 heads and a reversible case.

Good enough to lay your basic voice tracks down, record the sound of your garden on a sunday afternoon or keep that rare 1975 Hot Tuna concert, live on WQIV-FM, just as the Appolo and Soyuz space shuttles were meeting somewhere in the universe.

Hot Tuna (Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, formerly of Jefferson Airplane) have their own website and you should definitely try to get that live Hot Tuna radio gig: "Splashdown", july 25th, 1975, Relix records #RRLP2004.

I do not know if the broadcast was issued as an SQ encoding with Jack and Jorma on the front speakers and Appolo and Soyuz on the back :-)

Sold in Japan as a TC-6360A, for as little as 56.800¥. The rare QUAD version, TC-6364, is a fairly different beast and will be posted separately.
