I remember the Sony Salesmen/Engineers bringing one to our workshop in Morley to show it off, we were astounded at the time since we had loads of Philips recorders out on rental which we visited so often we almost took up residence with some customers..

This Sony monster arrived 2 handed and was stuck on the bench, we instantly christened the Betastack 'A Skislope' as it was attached and filled with cassettes, then it was turned on and...

Worked first time.

After being lugged up and down the country in the boot of a car, talk about being impressed, before long the shop was brimming with C5s and C7s, I don't remember any Skislopes though.
