Description

The 1958 Veritone Venus Console was a high-quality, well-crafted machine in a handsome black veneered
mahogany cabinet. Two speakers, a 10″ x 6″ elliptical and a 4″ tweeter, were housed behind the front grill and the single-ended EL84 amplifier produced about 4 watts. Space was provided in the cabinet
for a Veritone F.M. tuner anas well as for an additional 10-watt hi-fi amplifier.
Features included three heads, three motors, solenoid braking, two speeds
(7½ & 3¾ ips), 7″ reel capacity, direct off-tape monitoring while recording, sound on sound (superimposition), echo, separate record and playback amplifiers, separate bass and treble controls on playback and a magic eye modulation indicator.
A portable model was also available in early 1959, priced at about the same as the Console but with an Acos microphone and reel of tape included as standard accessories.
