Philips EL-3301

Compact cassette tape was a new design invented by Philips and launched at the Berlin Radio Show in 1963. The Philips EL-3300 was the world´s first cassette tape player and recorder.            

      The EL-3301 is the evolution of the previous model (EL-3300) sold in Europe in 1964. It is more advanced than the first model. However there are not many obvious differences at a glance (the EL-3301 is gray instead of brown and its lid has wings).  It was sold in USA as Norelco carry-corder 150.
