Looking at the circuit diagram it's clearly built with good quality, "european" parts - the tape head preamplifier is made of BC550C transistors, for example, and I've seen LM833 op-amps used in some of the components. The transport seems quite slick - it seems to have a separate motor for fast wind functions. It behaves like I'd expect a good quality hi-fi deck in need of a bit of TLC to behave.
