Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
Hello does anyone remember a stereo cassette deck sold by Ferguson that was styled like the early Videostar VCR machines or am I dreaming?
Yours a bit bewildered Gary |

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
Hello Tony I was wondering if you would know, sorry but that's not it, think of the early top loader video stars, when I saw it I thought that would look nifty with the video next to it.

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
Hi, In a word yes I remember the deck, I don't think it was a Ferguson machine though. I saw one of these machines in our local cash convertors recently which has transport keys that are styled in the same fashion as the Ferguson 3V22 though.
If it's still there next Friday when I go past I'll check the manufacturer, I think it may have been a Toshiba. Regards Andrew |

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
Hi Gary, Here's a JVC CD 1635E, not surprising that the keys are similar as JVC made the Ferguson VCR's.
Anything like it? David. |

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
Well I found this rather awful Google image from an old sale ad but it doesn't mention the model, only that it is a Ferguson Cassette deck.
Must be this one eh? David |

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
JVC certainly made some of the older Ferguson cassette decks like the 3272. They seemed to be about the only Japanese manufacturer to put the transport mechanism on the right side of the machine.

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
Well I never, the resemblance is uncanny.
And yes, even the early JVC front-loading audio cassette decks (uniquely?) had the transport on the RHS. |

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
I was looking for something else and came across a very lavish Ferguson brochure which has a clearer image of the 3287 cassette deck. Looks a very decent piece of kit. I think it dates from around 1977/8. Hope this helps!

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
So we should see a rise in the price of Ferguson Audio shares

Re: Ferguson Cassette Deck Question
Hi, the deck I saw in Cash Converters was a Technics 630 shown here
Admittedly the transport keys do look similar to those on the Ferguson Videostar VCR's but I see that the mystery has now been solved in a earlier post Andrew |
