A classic model from Sony.
TC-366 is a 4-track, 2-channel stereo / mono.
Special features are:


  • Noise supressor to cut off high frequency noise.


  • Tape-tension regulator to reduce flutter and wow.


  • Automatic shut-off mechanism.
  • Tape selector for Low noise or High Output.


  • Slanted cabinet designed for convenience of,
     operating in either horizontal or vertical use.


  • 7-1/2 and 3-3/4 are ideal for recording music when best sound quality is desired.
    


  • 1-7/8 is ideal for speech especially when longer recording time is needed.
    


  • Built in Noise Suppressor allows full pass-band 
    for the major part of the audio frequency range,
     as it does not affect response frequencies below 9kHz.
    


  • Mixing can be made by using the mic inputs and the RCA inputs simultaneously.
    


  • Sound on Sound function composing a mixed recording on one track tape,
    and a new external signal through one of the microphone input.
    


  • This option on 366 can create a one person record a duet, trio or other special effects.
    


    



    


  • The later TC-377 had slight cosmetics changes from 366, more of those details in
    the next section coming soon.

    One single motor operation with 4 belts for different purposes.




    
Linkage between all functions can be a challenge to adjust right for a beginner,
    many time the play-lever don't lock properly or fforward/rewind function is slow.
    
I disassemble the whole upper section and start from scratch,
     as most of these need a severe restoration.
