Not much but at least something. They have 262 on a picture. I assume 362 is a bit higher end.

Thanks

Hi

here's a SABA Forum. most people understand and write english, so try...

It is a HighCom Tapedeck.It should have been the expensivest Saba Tape ever.

362 is the probably most expensive deck ever brought out by Saba. It was sold only briefly at the beginning of the 80's. Characteristic is apart from the metal band fitness Telefunken HighCom, which gives extraordinary sound qualities to this equipment. How already with the 360er deck has also this a real time speedometer, which however unfortunately does not take in account (intended) when rewinding. The golden inscription is remarkable, as it already ago admits of black 9260 be might. It looks noble, is however everything else as well readable, no comparison to the white inscription of older devices. Heard could not me of the HighCom not convince, its work is too clearly perceptible and disturbing. Recently I received Telefunken deck of the first HighCom generation, which a outstandingly adjusted HighCom exhibited. This Highcom is so good that one can forget the Dolby C come out later smoothly!

Hi

yeah, can imagine :)
but, this is afaik the only Saba-Place i found. they heve alot stuff in the download-area, but nothing for your deck...

hope someone wil answer..

if your interested in Saba History... Saba had a kooperation with Klein+Hummel for a while, and sold K+H gear under Saba-Telewatt Brand. only a few years. And - maybe interesting - one K+H Tuner was a modified Dynaco FM-3!

but this was in the "golden" era :)

German Wikipedia knows a lot, maybe you can translate it with babelfish:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SABA

in the 70ies Saba started to buy japanese stuff (Sanyo...) - the beginnig of the End..

maybe this Tapedeck is a japanese product?
