THUROW KG
The Thurow KG was an East German company mainly engaged in the manufacture of professional magnetic tape recorders for studio and broadcasting purposes employed. It emerged from the abandoned production facility of the Sander & Janzen company , whose owners moved to West Berlin in the mid-1950s to continue their business there.
In the eastern part of the city, Edgar Thurow took over the management and initiated a change of name to THUROW KG. The company continued to produce the engines and machines of the SAJA series (type designation SJxxx). The last SAJA type device produced by THUROW KG in the east was the SJ155 studio tape machine.
One of the top products from THUROW KG was the T 103 studio tape machine. This machine was able to work with tape speeds of 9.53 cm / s and 19.05 cm / s in addition to the mandatory 38.1 cm / s. THUROW KG also served as a production facility for the devices developed in the Central Radio and Television Office of the German Post Office of the GDR (RFZ).
At the beginning of the 1960s, Thurow KG was forcibly merged with VEB Tonmöbel Berlin and from then on both companies operated under the name VEB Tonmechanik Berlin.
In 1972 Thurow KG was converted into VEB Tontechnik Berlin.
