    In a market I found this tape recorder broken. I fixed it and now it works very well. I looked for brand information but didn't find much. Can anyone give me indications about the brand of this small tape recorder? Thank you.

    Welcome Paolo. Here in the UK large companies like Currys, Tandy, Littlewoods and Asda (Walmart) often had their own brands of equipment which were made for them. The names would come and go presumably as fashions changed. I would guess your Tape recorder is a European equivalent.
    The most interesting thing about it was that it was made in Korea. I would date that to the 1980s or 1990s, before most manufacturing moved to China.
    There was a time when the only reason you would buy something made in Korea was because it was cheaper than the Japanese made equivalent.

    It looks like they may have a small audio line, like Longman said aimed at convenience/department stores.

    Yea, I think they're around 15' high, Van Halen toured with them on the last tour.
