Exploration of the Standard SR100 - unique design vintage cassette tape recorder. In the late 1960's, the Standard Radio Corporation of Japan released a uniquely designed cassette recorder into the new cassette market. This video shows the little machine in operation and how it was so cleverly made. It was purchased on E-Bay and arrived DOA, with battery corrosion, stalling mechanics and a dead capacitor hampering the main amplifier. I restored the machine and brought it 'back to life'. The mechanism is entirely unique, unlike the standard design created by Philips of Holland and seen in the Lloyd's 8V84A cassette recorder that appeared about the same time.
