Description
The RD-2310 was Sanyo’s offering of a budget stereo tape deck for the Hi-Fi enthusiast. It was a quarter-track machine with three speeds, auto shut-off, sound-with-sound and a maximum spool capacity of 7″.
It was an attractive deck, resembling the hugely popular Sony TC-366 (probably intentionally) but without the Sony’s sophistication.
With only two heads, no input mixing or selectable tape equalisation, it was little wonder it was almost half the 366’s price.
