Sony Model TC-353D Economy
Three Head Stereo Tape Deck
For only a few dollars more than the TC-280, the added
flexibility of a three-head deck is yours! The TC-353D's three-head design
lets the user check the quality of a new recording while the recording is
in progress. In addition, a Record Equalization Selector Switch allows optimum
performance with either standard tape or Sony low-noise, high-output tape.
Simplified controls make perfect recording possible.
