Christophs Tape pages - Simonetta - |

Small, lightweight, practical

The “Simonetta” devices were (presumably) manufactured in the 1960s by Dipl. Ing. Franz Eben in Dachau.
Some of them were also sold through mail order companies (Quelle and/or Neckermann).
The first of my two devices is visible above. The amplifier section is fully transistorized; only the level indicator still uses a tube (magic tape). The maximum coil size is 11 cm and the tape speed is 9.5 cm/s. Operates via 5 mono cells or external adapter. Inputs/outputs: For microphone, turntable, radio, and external power supply. Mono device. 1 built-in speaker. Unfortunately, the left knob is not original (if anyone has one lying around, please let me know). |

| Here is the second of my devices. Probably a little newer, as it is already equipped with a moving-coil instrument for level indication and a built-in power supply.
This device is fully transistorized. The maximum reel size is 11 cm and the tape speed is 9.5 cm/s (at least most of the time; unfortunately, it fluctuates somewhat).
Operation via 5 mono cells, built-in power supply, or external adapter. Inputs/outputs: For microphone, turntable, radio, and external power supply.
Mono device. 1 built-in speaker.
Unfortunately, I'm missing the lower sound head cover (maybe someone else has one lying around, please let me know). |
