That’s a late 60’s/ early 70’s Phillips Cassette player/recorder, I had one, lasted about 18 months before it gave up the ghost, replaced it with a Grundig equivalent that lasted years.
This brings back memories of my dad and I. We recited the times table together using a tape recorder and mic. I can still whip through them all, backwards as well. My dad has Alzheimer’s and it’s something I reminisce with him about a lot☺️
My parents bought one of those exact same Philips cassette recorders in the early about 1972. Our turntable evolved from a platter atop a cardboard box wired through the radiogram to a Dansette in about 1975 when the radiogram died, then we upgraded to a very swish Sony music centre in about 1979.
My first tape machine was just like that one, complete with microphone! It was my father's, from the sixties, and he gave it to me when I hit my teens. I think the first tape he bought me was Vivaldi's Four Seasons, because I'd just seen the film with Alan Alda and couldn't stop going on about it.
