Sanyo M S400 vertical or horizontal speaker switch re-wires speakers so top is left channel and front is right, when set up on left end. Sanyo M S540 Line In and Out 3 band EQ, metal/CrO2 tape capable, motorized play head mechanism.
Love those mini series from Sanyo with top speakers, 4/6. Have only JDM MR-Q4. Sanyo MR-Q4 back in those days, new, in a Japanese store.
Always liked the look of these, although I've never owned or heard one. I never knew about the V/H switch - Is the '400 the only model with that feature? (I suppose I could Google it, but I used all my energy typing this post.)
Red & Erm.... Red! They both sound good - the 7735L goes one better though.......these sound awesome with masses of detail & bass you just don't expect from such a small stereo!! Love them both though!
I almost got a 7735L on the bay, but someone snatched it up just before I got paid! X( I would love to have every version of these! Very hard to find!
Don't you just hate that! I really like these have a couple myself, a silver M 7740L and a black M WS400L
Trivia fact - the yellow post-it says "Oshare Tape 2-hon service" means '2 cassette tapes free with purchase'. I have just completed a restoration of the M-7740K version that has the SW tuner (photo attached). Thank you for sharing that great photo.
Since no one else has noticed it, I am going to ask, why are you naked while photographing this unit?
