    From 1967, I can't read any of this but this thing is huge, with a handle! Is that a R2R or a turntable? 10 watts a channel, nice!

    The complexes visible in the cover of this month are made by SIL (European Company of Electronics Applications - Turin), they are comprised of several stereophonic apparatuses, all of them transistorized and chained to one another. The foreground complex, with dimensions of 62 x 24 x 42 cm contains a radio apparatus with three wave bands with MF (medium frequency?) stereo and FD, an amplifier with 6 + 6 W, a two speed recorder which is equipped with forty two transistor, nineteen diodes and one zener diode. The one visible in the background, with dimensions of 97 x 97 x 51 centimeters is moreover fitted with an automatic changer record player and it's equipped with a 1o + 10 W amplifier.

    I have to say... very archaic Italian electronics language there that I've tried my best to translate into archaic transistorized English.
