Technics RS-265U
¥ 34,800 (around 1976)
Commentary
Top surface operation and horizontal drive type cassette deck.
The head uses LH head which has excellent characteristics and abrasion resistance even for hard chrome tape of magnetic material.
In addition, the erasing head has a ferrite structure that is unlikely to cause unbalanced wear, and adopts a double gap type with good erasing efficiency.
Equipped with an auto-release mechanism, the mechanism automatically stops when recording or regenerating condition ends the tape.
The indicator lamp lights when recording or chrome operation is performed.
Equipped with a large dust cover that click-stops at an opening angle of 60 °.
The design matches the Technics YOU-OZ system component of Technics.
