ILET

The "Ilet-110-stereo" reel-to-reel recorder has been produced by the Volzhsky Electromechanical Plant since 1985. The model uses a three-motor solenoid logic controlled tape transport with electronic control and automatic tracking of tape tension and Glass Ferrite heads in a 3-head configuration. So far everything seems normal but there are a couple of unusual features for a model introduced in 1985. On a closer inspection one would notice that this model has also a built-in amplifier (2x15W) and would accept reels up to 22cm (a fairly unusual German DIN standard size). The built-in amplifier was actually a characteristic of Soviet made hi-fi components that allowed a radio or turntable to be connected using the 110C as an amplifier for those external sources. Another unusual thing is that as a consequence of the "centralized economical production" the same model was manufactured in various factories across the country with minor aesthetic differences as: Rostov 105 stereo, Soyuz 110 stereo, Snezhet 110 stereo. Apparently the "original" model was the Rostov 105 Stereo and this was exported with both Cyrillic and English front panel inscription. You can see such an export model Rostov 105 in the 1001 Hi-Fi collection here. Frequency response is 31-22.000Hz at 19cm/s with a wow and flutter figure of 0,09%. Size of the unit is 510x417x225mm with a weight of 24kg. Usually a pair of 3-way loudspeakers were offered as standard.
