Sony 200 (circa 1964)

Not much is documented about the Sony 200. The one solid period reference is a short trade-press listing from 1964. High Fidelity Trade News (September 1964, p.99) lists a "Sony 200A" with built-in speakers at less than $170. Directly above it sits a companion entry, apparently the 200, priced under $239.50. It has sound-on-sound, two preamplifier outputs, two external speaker outputs, and a pair of speakers in a split carrying-case cover. That points to portable recorders from Sony's mid-1960s lineup, but the listing is too short to confirm tape format, track configuration, or any other specifications.

Surviving information on this model is thin. No service manuals, brochures, or further reviews have surfaced. If you own a Sony 200 or 200A and can share documentation, the Archive would welcome the details.
