Tandberg 1241X, 4 Track,  Reel-to-Reel Tape Recorder

Key Features and Specifications
Transistorised Design: It marked a major evolution as Tandberg's fully transistorised machine in this line, replacing older vacuum-tube indicators with conventional mechanical level meters. [1]
Cross-Field Biasing: It features a three-head arrangement utilising Tandberg's distinct cross-field biasing technique, which improved high-frequency response and signal-to-noise ratios at slower tape speeds. [1]
Configurations: Available in both half-track (2-track) and quarter-track (4-track) stereo versions. [1, 2]
Controls: Offers independent record and playback volume adjustments, standard treble and bass controls, and a dedicated input selector for line, pickup, or mixed inputs. [1, 2]
You can learn more about its history and design background on the Reel-to-Reel Tape Recorder Directory. Discussions on how its circuitry compares to older models can also be found on the Vintage Radio Forum. [1, 2]
