Re: Philips cassette deck
Very strange and definitely a British add-on.
How is the tx wired? What do you mean by xwd? N |

Maybe someone in our Vintage Amateur and Military forum has a look-up reference to that NATO number.

Re: Philips cassette deck
Audio isolation transformer? Perhaps the machines were used on phone circuits.

Re: Philips cassette deck
My guess: eX War Department.
Edit: sorry, I see VR got there first. Maybe the intention was to convert the input from unbalanced to balanced, and / or to some specifically required input impedance? Last edited by SiriusHardware; 26th Sep 2020 at 10:54 am. |
