Default Re: Coomber 393 Cassette Player/Recorder No Playback Sound

On these first and second versions of the 393, The DIN socket on the front is switched. When a plug is connected the internal mic is muted.

This DIN was replaced in later versions (393/7) by a quarter inch jack socket which was line input in rec and line output in play. Last time I saw that setup was in a Grundig dictaphone!

The ALC is quite gentle in these, acceptable results with music can be obtained. Mono, of course!
