テクニクス「テープデッキ◯テープアクセサリー総合カタログ」・昭和53年12月
A fold-out booklet with a complex fold, Technics’ general catalog of tape decks and tape accessories. The cover says the deck has entered the digital era, and most of the paper goes to direct-drive D.D. on the cassette lines and the open-reel machines. Two senior cassette decks, RS-M88 and RS-M77, are still marked as forthcoming and already carry a Metal position. The top of the open-reel line, U-76, is priced at ¥950,000.
