Vintage Sony Tapecorder 361 Reel-to-Reel B5 Sales Flyer Specs June 1958

Description

This
Japanese Language
flyer is an
authentic original
.  It is approximately 182MM X 257MM, the
JIS B5
size.
The flyer has a sharp vertical crease across the middle of the page, and a soft diagonal crease from corner to corner.  There are no stains, highlighting, or writing on either side.  There are no tears.  The back is evenly yellowed with age.
On the lower right corner of the back side, there is a printer`s date code: "
33.6.
".
The date is in years of the
Showa
Emperor, Hirohito:  add 25 to
33
to get
58
, the year of the printing in the Western calendar.
The month is June, the 6th month.
So the translation is:
33.6 = June 1958
.
Please see the second photo - these date codes began to be used intermittently in the mid 1950's, and continued with the same date coding until 1965, when the code changed.
The
Sony Tapecorder 361
was first introduced in June 1958 under the
Sony
company name.
This flyer shows that the
Model 361
was matched to the
Sony F-3B Microphone
, listed in the specifications on the back side in the lower right corner.
The Tapecorder 361 used
vacuum-tube
electronics, and operated on 100 Volts, 50-60 Hz.  The tubes are listed on the back of the flyer.  The power frequency was selected for the local power provider by changing the Tapecorder's capstan and pinch roller.
My other listings include a flyer for the
Sony Tapecorder 261
, a cheaper version of the 361.  Both of these models used a new drive mechanism that reduced wow & flutter to 0.3%.  The capstan and pinch roller of the new design are separate from the tape head cover, as shown on the flyer.
These models were extensively used in Japan's schools for
Audio-Visual
presentations and for replaying of educational
Radio Broadcasts
by
NHK
.  They all used 7" reels of
Soni-Tape
.I have similar Japanese flyers and catalogs from the
1950's
listed that may interest you.
