notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: The miniaturization of electronic components has allowed designers to add features to audio products that previously would have been impractical or simply too expensive. This TEAC model A-170 cassette tape deck includes input equalizing controls more typical of studio equipment. The donor, who used this tape deck as a teenager, added the “do not touch” admonition in an effort to prevent family and friends from changing the settings.
