This was a product that never caught on; designed to have some of the features of expensive decks but still be cheap. Thus: Three heads, but the head pre-amp doubles as the mike pre-amp, so you can't monitor off the tape. Dolby - this was their big selling point - but of course Dolby never caught on for consumer reel-to-reel (oops, forgot to mention this is a reel-to-reel machine). Since you can't monitor off the tape anyway, they only had to put in one pair of Dolby circuits... Interesting circuit design: The high-level inputs are fed through a voltage divider and into the mike inputs! (So, of course, no mixing...) I bought this thing used back in 1976 or so for something like $75. It's never really worked right, but I've kept it around as a classic - who ever saw a KLH tapedeck? -- Jerry decvax!yale-comix!leichter leichter@yale
