Summary[edit]

Description
English: Marantz SD-60 cassette deck, 1989 ([1]), also rebadged as the Philips FC-60 (1989) and Revox C115 (1990). At this points in time, Marantz was a Japanese subsidiary of Philips, and the Revox brand has just recently parted with Studer, soon to become a Harman subsidiary. The unit shown here was made for Japanese domestic market. It arrived in my hands in like-new condition, with very clean transport and low-mileage heads, and needed no mechanical adjustments. The deck came with massive cast-iron (yes!) side panels that are not shown here. Despite menacing looks, it's a well-built but otherwise mediocre, mid-fi product with lots of quirks and poor usability. Just look at diminutive, almost unusable transport control buttons and compare them with a genuine Swiss Revox in the bottom.
Русский: Дека Marantz SD-60, 1989 года. Также производилась, с минимальными косметическими изменениями, под именами Philips FC-60 и Revox C115 (к этому времени торговая марка Revox ушла из-под контроля Studer в свободное плавание). На фото хорошо сохранившийся экземпляр с японского рынка, без накладных боковых панелей из литого чугуна (? ну в общем дюже тяжёлые). Средненькая по характеристикам, но крепко сработанная дека со множеством странностей и проколов по части юзабилити (в особенности неудобны крохотные кнопочки управления ЛПМ).
