I have a Tandberg tape recorder Model 3.
It has 3 speeds, and was purchased in 1957.

Need to know the OUTPUT CONNECTOR type to be able to
record old tapes into my computer using Audacity.

Hope one of you may have one and can advise.

Can you take a picture of the port? I would suspect an RCA jack.

Thank you Miker

Please see attached file with picture and data.

I am familiar with and use RCA jacks. The connector is not RCA.
The plug on the Tandberg measures:
Depth – 5/8”
Entry Diameter – 5/16”

Was just hoping someone would have a unit with a manual.

PS tried to sent a pdf file - but it was not allowed? DO I need to ger permission?

No,
You just need a couple more posts. Then you will have full privileges.

It looks like it might be a TP-120 jack. There are a couple of sources. Here's one:

With schematics. Sweet.

Tandberg recorders have been a division of Cisco for many years. I'd give the chance of finding any info from the current owners to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 0%.
