Telefunken II-18 (c. 1969)
Little is documented about the Telefunken II-18. What survives is a dealer's price-comparison advertisement in Studio Sound (February 1969, p.9). One line item there, which the OCR renders as "Telefunken 201 II 18", sits in the four-track monaural tape recorder column. The trailing "II 18" is almost certainly our model. The terms stayed the same across the February, May, and July 1969 issues: £47 13s 9d cash, or £9 2s down followed by twelve monthly payments of £2 19s 7d. The May ad ran under a "Telefunken reduced prices" banner (Studio Sound, May 1969, p.34), which hints the II-18 may have been among the models discounted that spring.
Beyond those listings, nothing is recorded - no manual, no review, no circuit description. Going by the advertisements, it was a four-track monaural tape recorder offered in the UK around 1969 at a modest price. The rest is lost.
