The very same! But cosmetically updated a little bit. The really snazzy ones had a third socket between record and earphones that would enable you to control the playback and record functions through your home computer. Those were the days, when your Spectrum or Dragon (or my own Camputers Lynx) would save or download programs from a tape cassette. And when your monitor was your TV screen.

Ah, halcyon days, with my first ZX-81, then Speccy, then Commodore 64. :geek:

I think that I still have my Philips Disk Jockey from 1954 in the loft. Just a turntable for 3 speeds with a dual pick up head. An output wire was connected to the volume control of my Emstonette radio, or to an input socket on my parents' Mullard radio.

It gave sterling service until we bought a "music centre" about 1978.
