JVC TDW-309 (circa 1995)

Surviving information on the JVC TDW-309, listed as the TDW-309TN in period directories, is thin. The record is essentially one entry in a 1995 tape-deck roundup. HiFI-Stereo (1995, p.48) said the TDW-309TN follows the TDW-709TN's configuration: one record/play transport and one play-only transport, which makes it a dual-cassette deck. The same listing noted two quirks. The tape counter was not linear, and there was no input-balance control. It gave a price of $280.

Nothing else substantial has surfaced. There are no brochure details, no confirmed frequency response or wow-and-flutter figures, and no production dates beyond the 1995 listing. It was one of JVC's dual-cassette decks of the mid-1990s.

Known at a glance:

• Dual-transport cassette deck (one record/play, one play-only)
