Sony TC-270 reel-to-reel

The Sony Stereo Tape-recorder TC-270 is a complete stereo tape recorder. This compact, powerful stereo music system consists of an amplifier utilizing Sony silicon transistors, precision tape deck and high performance speaker systems.

The tape transport mechanism, including vibration-free motor, is designed to provide flutter-free, stable tape drive either in vertical or horizontal operation.tape modulation distortion noise is remarkably reduced by the scrape filter.

Other features are; automatic shut-off device, retractomatic pinch roller for easy tape threading, the professional recording techniques of Sound-to-Sound, built-in reel locks and many more.
