Description

Very few of Sony’s early machines used tubes but this was one of them.  The TC 111 was a two speed (3¾ & 1 7/8ips), two track portable with a maximum reel size of 5″.
It could be used with both 117v or 240v, 50 or 60 Hz power supplies and
consumed approximately 75 watts in the process.
The TC-111 was of a compact structure and weighed around 10½ lbs
(4.8kg). It featured a permanent magnet erase head and used a fluorescent
modulation tube for record level indication.
