SONY TC-RX55 Cassette Deck

The TC-RX55 is an Auto Reverse cassette deck from the late 80ties. It comes with Dolby B & C as well as memory function. It is well designed with its big display and numerous LEDs displaying what the deck is currently doing. This deck received quite a bit of service to have it produce good recordings. We replaced capacitors for that in the recording and bias circuits
