Description

This is supposedly the very first tape recorder ever made by Philips and quite rare today.
Production began in 1950 and this particular model, the EL-3540/10, was
made in Vienna for the export market (all the instructions and labels
on it are in English).
It was a semi-professional recorder with a single tape speed of 7½
ips (19 cm/s) and three separate heads. It would almost certainly be a
single-track mono machine and extremely rare today.
