Sony TC-510 Tape Recorder (1978)

Check out the Sony TC-510 open reel recorder, I had one of these and it’s a classic, superb quality and amazingly well built just like most of Sony’s stuff in the 70s, I used it for many years until it was stolen in the early 90s but I still have all the recordings. I used this machine for my early mixing and editing, particularly for jingles and other radio production, it was much nicer than the Uher report that everyone was using and I got some great interviews with the Sony ECM-99A stereo mic. I have hardly seen any of these since those days, only two on eBay and here are the photos from one of those listings.
