Cassette recorder museum

Pentru a promova rapid caseta compact (TM) pe piata americana, Philips a anexat pt. o perioada firma americana Mercury, sub brandul careia a realizat/comercializat cateva modele de aparate cu noul format de caseta , unele prezentate si alaturat. Aparatul are mecanica de Philips, radio AM si FM, tranzistorizat, produs de PAX Ltd. in Japan. Este primul al carui design prefigureaza infatisarea viitoarelor radio-casetofoane portabile clasice, cu radioul alaturat in acelasi plan , casetofonului (nu suprapus, cum a fost Philips/Norelco RL962 -v alaturat)  


In order to promote the compact cassette (TM) on the American market, Philips bought for a while the American company Mercury Records, under whose brand it made several models of gramophones and cassette players, some of which are presented here. This device has Philips mechanics, AM and FM radio, transistorized, made by PAX Ltd. in Japan. It is the first which design foreshadows the appearance of future classic portable radio-cassette recorders, having the radio next to it in the same plane, the cassette player (not superimposed, as was the Philips/Norelco RL962 - see attch. photo 1966)
