Vintage Telefunken Magnetophon 203

Vintage Telefunken Magnetophon 203

A rare treat for the tape heads out there! This unit needs a little cleaning, but it is working and functioning 100% outside of some noise from dirty heads. No time to clean and so selling AS-IS. No tape, but I''ll throw in 2 empty reels you can see in photos.

This was a two speed (3¾ & 1 7/8 ips) quarter-track stereo recorder with a maximum spool size of 7″. Only a mono amplifier and single 5 x 3″ elliptical speaker were provided for playback, however stereo playback was possible from the preamplifier outputs. Stereo multiplex recordings could be made.
