Immaculate fully working 1960s cassette player in briefcase.
Hi all, I am new here and after some advice.
I have spent my working life, buying and selling vintage and antique items in England and France. On one of my trips 15+ years ago I bought this very attractive/quirky cassette recorder/player with speakers all housed in a briefcase. (See photo) This thing is literally immaculate (I have just sourced a power supply for it and works perfectly). It's like it has never ever been used. Now..... I can't find any trace of one the same online, not even for pictures let alone trying to put a value on it. My search brought me here, I'm hoping someone could shed some light on it and maybe help with some info. All info greatly appreciated. Thanks guys. |

Re: Immaculate fully working 1960s cassette player in briefcase.
I have no real info (and certainly no idea of value), but being a stereo unit, I would put it in the 1970s, not the 1960s unless you have reason to believe it's earlier.
It sort-of reminds me of the well-known Sanyo 'briefcase' music centres which had a cassette unit, tuner and record turntable in a briefcase with the speakers as 2 parts of the removeable lid. |

Seems EUROVOX was the name on some of the products of this Spanish company.

That's great thankyou.. I must admit it was a rush guess. I'll change it.
Thanks again. |
