timt8821 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Can anyone please tell if this tape deck and tuner is a decent brand and worth selling or good for the bin? cheers
Snapper() Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I think silver was ok but not much better. Perhaps not for the bin, has some residual value.

Silver a.k.a Shin-Shirasuna Electric Corp went bankrupt in 1982, they produced components from the late 60's till the early 80's. They built a lot of OEM stuff for other companies, they also manufactured some of the early 70's harman/kardon receivers 'SILVER' was their own branded gear 2
Ihearmusic Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Ahhh, brings back memories. My first music system bought in 1980 was a Silver complete in a rack with TT, tape, tuner and amp. It cost around $1200 Swiss Francs at the time and I payed for it with the money I earned cleaning in hospitals during school holidays. I believe it is still at my sisters home back in Switzerland. 1
audiofeline Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Wasn't Silver a house-brand of Douglass HiFi (or similar retailer)?

Byter Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I worked at Douglas Hi-Fi at that time. I'm not sure that Silver was a "house" brand, but it sure wasn't a great one.
