     Juliette LT-44.    Produced in Japan in the 60's. They also produced a similar tape with other names, such as “Star-Lite ST-666”, “Lloyds TP-655”, "Mayfair 313", "International 410". They had the same design and differ only in the form of control knobs. Actually, at that time published many different recorders - toys. All of them were made on the general principle, and consisted of simple kinematics, the standard wiring for 4 transistors, built-in speaker, volume control, and in some cases, the speed regulator. Everywhere the movement of shaft reel table transferred directly from the motor shaft, or two engines. Many of these toys were only the appearance of the shell, and often do just the name. Almost all of these recorders were two food - for circuit 9 v, and for the engine - from 3 to 6 v. Juliette LT-44 fits into this category recorders - toys. Its distinguishing feature is a relatively compact and durable metal case, 185 x 88 x 60 mm. Weight 900 grams. Coil diameter 76 mm (3 inches) can hold a tape about 20 minutes of work. Speed controller for it, but the engine probably not the worst, so that the unevenness of the speed there is not very strong, is much worse. Wiring collected 5 transistors (2SB172 - 2 pcs, 2SB175, 2SB32, KV-5), normal speaker, the volume is enough. Erase head no, instead a permanent magnet. From their unique Juliette LT-44 favorably with the original design control knobs. In models of "Star-Lite ST-666", "Lloyds-TP-655" are quite simple and inexpressive. Power wiring - 9 v, battery type PP3, food Engine - 3 v, two batteries type C. No built-in microphone. The front panel has two connectors (3,5 mm) to connect a microphone and earpiece.   

     The device was bought in working condition. It took only make prevention, change the lubricant. The set includes the original packing box, instruction manual, microphone, and two straps of different lengths.
