Some Notes from the Museum of Sound Recording:
"Everything was Teac production with the addition of the Telefunken 12AX7 front end tubes and case. All QC functions were performed in Culver City.
Concertone was still manufacturing their own heads including winding and matching the coils for the series 60 and replacement heads for the 20 and 30 series.
They also had an AC-DC 5" reel recorder with an AM radio in the 400 series from Dokorder.
Concertone 605 was a great prosumer recorder with a removable tape head assembly, (easy to change from 2 track to 4 track) full remote control, and the new front shielded heads developed by Al Solfe. This recorder had full pro specs and was a quality recorder. It was later sold under the Concord brand and TEAC as the R2000."
