Reel-to-reel tape recorders, stationary.Reel-to-reel tape recorders, stationaryThe Saturn-101-stereo reel-to-reel tape recorder was developed in 1982 at the Karl Marx Omsk Electrotechnical Plant. Information on this tape recorder could not be found. The only mention on the site: http://omsklogo.ru. You can get some idea of the model from the photo given here. And here is what was written on the site: This is a really rare photograph of an industrial design from 1982. Products that have not been put into mass production. Reel-to-reel tape recorder "Saturn-101-stereo" produced by the Omsk ETZ named after Karl Marx, which produced primarily military electronics and a factory, from which only walls and a bunch of wonderful retail space remained. I recall that there were two or three photographs. One of them had a "Saturn-202-stereo", though of a slightly different design than the one that went into production. So far, one has been found. I suppose that the 202 and 101 models were developed at the same time, but for some reason the 101 was abandoned. By the way, it is very interesting (and sad) to see the life of Soviet industrial design through the production process (if you are interested, look at how the 202 model was "sausage"). Designers think about the compositional interaction of black and white, but production ... Well, we don't have black polystyrene!
