Mitsubishi U-59 (c. 1994)
Little is documented about the Mitsubishi U-59. What the record shows comes down to a single period review in HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (January 1994, p.81), which identifies the unit as the HS-U59 and lists it at $599.
The review concentrates on the Quick Search function: one press skips through 30 seconds of tape before playback resumes, and the button can be pressed up to four times in succession to jump a full two minutes. The same passage notes an unusual auto-speed feature, but the surviving scan cuts off before saying what it does.
Beyond that, the archive can confirm little — no production years, full specifications, or design details have surfaced in the sources available to us.
