I have the same machine with the Philips name, my dad bought it in 1960. I still use it to listen to the tapes he made at that time of radio broadcasts. takes me back.
You wouldn't believe it but, I dumped one of them in the trash about 20 years ago. I chucked a whole heap of that sort of stuff out. If only I knew then that they could've been worth something now.. lol.. oh well..
Comment re-post: My dad bought one of these Norelco Continental "400" tape recorders in the early 60s. He would record the Christmas morning mayhem that was the 5 of us kids discovering our Santa loot. I used it myself into the late 70s, and he still has it in a closet somewhere. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks for reposting this! I'm glad there is at least one more of these somewhere. : ) Anyone who seeks a very delicious audio sweetening effect should be hitting you up for your Norelco. : )
I meant the Realistic (Moog) MG-1... the Radio Shack analog synthesizer built by Moog. In order to test out the Norelco's recording capability, I plugged the synthesizer into it and noodled for awhile.

My dad had a Norelco reel-to-reel in the 60s, too. We kids abused the hell out of it making our "AM radio DJ" tapes. Good times...

Oh, I believe it... I have engaged in some discarding of stuff I should have never discarded! : )

Looks like it's in excellent condition, too. Did you have to replace rubber belts or anything?

I just love that Tapemashines! They survive your PC. That's for shure ;)

Yes, isn't that amazing? Things USED to be built to last FOREVER, now they are built to last until the next model comes out.

I absolutely agree!

Norelco... that's Philips right?

I honestly don't know! It does say "Made in Holland" on it.

It has a striking similarity to a Philips that was marketed - at least in Denmark - as the "Philips Forte Stereo".

What is the Mg1? is it just a recorder or is it like a sampler.
