Sony 600 (ca. 1964)
Not much information on the Sony 600 survives. It appears to have been a dual-speed, four-track stereo/mono tape record/playback deck sold in a carrying case. High Fidelity (September 1964, p.57) covered it as a current model. It lists dimensions of 16 by 18-3/16 by 10 inches and a price of $449.95. The unit shipped with two Sony F-87 dynamic cardioid microphones. Controls included a pair of VU meters for recording and playback level, and concentric volume knobs for output signal level.
The Archive's research has turned up no service manuals, production years or circuit details. Beyond the High Fidelity review, almost nothing else is recorded.
