Description
A very cheap machine aimed
at the non-discerning ‘family’ market, the Sabre II utilised a BSR tape-deck
coupled with Wyndsor’s electronics.
As the name suggests, this was a half-track mono (I’m not sure if there
ever was a quarter-track Sabre IV) with a single speed of 3¾ ips
and a 5¾ inch spool capability.
Price when new was £25 4s.
