The Philips Maestro, also known as Philips Major, was a very common low-cost, low-fidelity monaural tape recorder mechanism used by Philips in late 1950s. Actual retail recorders were labeled with dozens of different model codes starting with EL or AG letters (not that it made any worthwhile difference...). Typical 1950s look and feel.
The Maestro had all-tube electronics inside, usually with 5 tubes (even the rectifier is the EZ80). Philips was quite slow with transistorizing their consumer tape recorders, so even the venerable 1967 EL3575 - two generations after the Maestro - had a tube output stage and a tube rec level indicator).
