Sony TC-377
Sony TC-6360A
november 1971
1977
Sony's Volks-recorder : simple, cheap and efficient.
F&F (Ferrite & Ferrite) heads, Symphase / Uniphase correction circuit, three speeds, three heads and a reversible enclosure to record horizontally, vertically and almost on the side, too.
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 :-)
Alongwith the Akai GX-4000 series and direct Sony siblings like the TC-378 and TC-399, the TC-377 is part of the all-time reel-to-reel bestsellers. It did also win a japanese Good Design award.
The original model is the TC-366 : TC-6360 in Japan, november 1969, costing 51,800¥.
The TC-377 being the november 1971 updated version, sold in Japan as TC-6360A for 56.800¥ and the addition of Ferrite & Ferrite heads.
In between those two versions was an extra-extra-rare QUAD version named TC-6364 added in july 1970 (99.800¥) for tentatively cool surround thrills.
The TC-366 / TC-6360 will be posted separately.
