ScuzzBlog: Diaries December 2022 Entry 11th December 2022: Post 1: PrinzSound TR9 - Compact Cassette Recorder. PrinzSound TR9 - Compact Cassette Recorder. Added another item to my PrinzSound collection and this time just the cassette tape recorder and not the radio. This year I started to piece together an early seventies radio cassette collection of the Dixons trademark era. The PrinzSound was a label that Dixons branded for kit made in Japan. The theme is fake wood and being portable. This seemed to be all the rage in the day. I have absolutely no information again about the TR9 other than what you see in the pictures. The unit probably came with a carrying case and microphone plus the instructions. The number of the unit indicates its line in the production stream ie No 9. The TR simply means Tape Recorder as opposed to RTR Radio Tape Recorder. The shiny metal work is a little scratched which looks deliberate. On the front panel, which has the standard piano key arrangement, there is a VU for record levels and volume and tone control. The actual inputs are to the front of the unit which is unusual for recorders of the day. It also has the all important remote socket which is so useful for computer data. The age of this is difficult to determine but early seventies is about as close as I can give. The recorder has a low serial number being just 395. It wasn't my intention to collect just recorders as my primary interest was the radio cassette, however, this looks to be the same era as my RTR16. You may recall that I have been trying to locate a replacement for my RTR16 which I no longer have. Anyhoo, I am likely to have another addition soon and will keep you advised with updates.
