ScuzzBlog: Diaries December 2022 Entry 25th December 2022: Post 1: PrinzSound TR8 - Cassette Recorder. PrinzSound TR8 - Cassette Recorder. Yet another PrinzSound classic finds its way into the collection. This time I go even further back along the chain to the TR8. As ever, the distinguishing features being the fake wood and the portability of the unit being supported by batteries. I have thought about widening the perimeters of the collection, but for now those two basic features will suffice. Again I have no information about the unit other than it sits within that early seventies bracket. You recall that these units were rebadged by Dixons with the PrinzSound name having been manufactured originally in Japan. The unit has suffered only minor damage over the years with some of the colouring missing to the fascia. I was a little surprised to discover the batteries inside. There is the added bonus of the microphone which I assume is the one that came with the machine, though their is no pocket for it. Inside the tape enclosure was a Glen Miller cassette from 1986 though this has no significance to the machine. What I was pleased about was that some of the characteristics of the cassette recorder are similar to those of my PrinzSound that started this whole adventure. I may not have been able to find a replacement for my cassette radio but I certainly have many of the component parts albeit in the form of features on other machines. All adds to the picture though. I will be adding more to the collection during the coming year and I am seriously searching for written data on the products. It does seem to be the case that little documentation is in general circulation. Hopefully I can fill in some of the spaces. PrinzSound TR8 - Cassette Recorder.
