Default Re: What Is This Accessory With My Tape Recorder?

Interesting machine.
As you say, the overall construction quality looks very good, but those PCBs are indeed 'prototype' quality! It's not just the layout, but the workmanship that contrasts with the rest.
Similarly, the induction coil's having a basic knotted strain relief and that crude core seems weird considering the appearance of the bobbin and enclosure. I note that the enclosure has a recess for a badge, but none fitted, which does suggest to me that it might be a pre-production model of some sort.
