Type 3 (Tandberg) 1959

This is a lovely recorder which was not sold in the UK, it was not until the
introduction of the Type 6 did the UK see these recorders. Eventually, Tandberg
became an internationally recognised manufacture of recorders for schools
especially the language departments. These recorders were very popular and their
design was relatively cheap, with two heads and one motor, these recorders cut
down on high selling costs, the mechanism designed to power the reel hubs is
very cleaver, using clutches and a large belt in the shape of a figure of 8, the
reel hubs would drop down to engage the spinning clutches underneath them, this
creates the rewind and fast forward which operated by the T-shape control.
