シャープ「FM・AMステレオダブルカセット ザ・サーチャーW GF-490(R)」カタログ・ザ・サーチャー・ダブル・昭和57年8月
A4-folded four-page leaflet for the SHARP GF-490 “Searcher W”, August 1982. Same machine as the July edition, but this one puts APSS-WF front and center - the upgraded version of the automatic programme search that now stops the tape at exactly the right spot. Metal tape support is explicitly called out this time. The three-act structure carries over: ACT.1 for basic recording and playback, ACT.2 for APSS-WF auto-search, ACT.3 for one-touch direct editing. Two colorways - silver GF-490 and red GF-490(R), both at ¥63,000.
