Description
The LZ.32 (half-track mono) and the LZ.34 (quarter-track mono) were budget-priced
domestic machines with a modest but acceptable set of performance specifications.
Like many other small UK recorder manufacturers of the 1960s, Elizabethan chose a ready-made tape transport rather than develop their own, and in this instance they selected the new BSR T-10 three-speed deck. An extremely popular mid 1960s unit, the TD-10 could also be found (and this is a short list!) in Fidelity’s Playmaster Major, Wyndsor’s 707 and Dansette’s Consort
Maximum reel size was 7″ and the all-tube amplifier produced 3 watts output, driving an internal 10″ x 4″
speaker. Other features included separate bass and treble controls and an EM84 ‘fluid-light’ record level indicator.
