Dog. Entry level in the 1970s was really low. That's one reason by the 1980s Japan companies were kicking fanny. Similar prices with 2X the quality, 1/3 to 1/2 the weight, etc.

Now a lot of the entry stuff was very sturdy, and the Record was in that camp.

The Japanese stuff was/is very durable as well, and much better.
