That's definitely a Toshiba deck.
Same deck as the Bombeat 16.
Also the same "Loudness technology allegedly built into the volume knob".

Very interesting guys! The General company did make their own radios too. I got in contact with them regarding my MG-345 and Fujitsu had still information about it in their archives. They also wrote they made it themselves. But true, it's a known fact that there are more brands than real factories that made boomboxes.

Such a cool box.....Can you record from one tape to two others at the same time?

I also wonder if it actually has an independent motor for each deck.
