Hitachi TRK-8180 - обзор и сравнение модификаций

This video provides an overview of one of the successful radio models manufactured by Hitachi - TRK-8180, 1979 model year. A comparison of its modifications was also made: Hitachi TRK-8180W, Hitachi TRK-8180E, Hitachi TRK-8180EM, Hitachi TRK-8181, Hitachi TRK-8180 Perdisco, Hitachi TRK-8280 Perdisco and COLUMBIA RN-3000 Beat Boy. Main differences: Hitachi TRK-8180 E - European market dark design of the front (front panel), tuner - four ranges LW, MW (AM). SW from 6 to 18 MHz, FM - 87.5 MHz - 108 MHz), line input on DIN connector, no line out input for an external FM antenna of the European standard, power supply 220V. Hitachi TRK-8180 EM - late modification of the model with the index "E" added only support for Metal tape, lighter color design of the case and acoustics, without color contrasts. Metal logo on the front panel instead of the DPRS (search system) logo as on all other modifications. Otherwise identical to TRK-8180 E There is an erroneous opinion that these modifications ("E" and "EM") are for the English market (by analogy with Sharpe's indexing). But this is not so, this modification was sold on the European market Hitachi TRK-8180 W - model for sales in South American markets (perhaps also this modification was sold somewhere else, for example, in Asian markets).

The only multi-voltage model (4 ranges: 100-110V, 115-127V, 200-220V, 230-250V). Connector for an external FM antenna - on the "twists". Hitachi TRK-8181 - modification for North America, two tuner bands (FM 88-108 and conventional AM (MW), a complete set of audio inputs / outputs, there is no connector for an external FM antenna, power - 120V Hitachi TRK-8180 Perdisco model for the domestic market of Japan, tuner - FM "short", from 76 to 90 MHz + AM band, full set of audio inputs/outputs Connector for an external FM antenna - on the "twists", Power supply 100V. Hitachi TRK-8280 Perdisco model for the domestic market of Japan, facelift model 8180 full analogue of this model with the exception of: added pitch control (change the speed of the tape), different design of speaker grills and internal microphones, different body colors different design of the cassette deck keys, different Perdisco logo, added rewind/search direction indicators. COLUMBIA RN-3000 Beat Boy model commissioned by Nippon Columbia (Denon), full analogue of the base model Hitachi TRK-8280 Perdisco except for other color design, name of the search system (PSSS instead of DPRS), Columbia nameplates on front and back.
