  • Notes

  • This is a similar model to the Pyrox CWR P1 and Pyrox CWR P2. In place of the Tone control is a headphone socket. It has an optional pick-up arm, this recorder could record directly from 78 rpm disks. The pick-up spool was used as the turntable. The pick-up arm plugs into the socket seen on the bottom right of the recorder top. This socket connected the pick-up output to the pre-amp.
