Seller's Description

Privat sucht gepflegten und unverbasteltes Uher Cassettenrecorder CG 360.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The CG 360 is a notably well-equipped early Uher deck: a front-loader with Dolby B, bidirectional playback, and a distinctive horizontal transport. At €50, an excellent-condition example looks like a strong deal rather than merely fair; current asking prices for clean units tend to sit around €140–€150, while €50 examples are more commonly described as needing work.

Its appeal is less ultimate refinement than character, solid German engineering, and genuine period interest. Dolby B and auto-reverse make it more versatile than many contemporary curiosities, and the unusual format gives it collector value. Before buying, confirm that transport, playback, recording, auto-reverse, meters, and cassette ejection all work, and check that the DIN connections or required leads are included. If it is genuinely clean and operational, €50 is an easy recommendation.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Uher

Uher is a German audio brand founded in Munich in 1953, with roots in the work of inventor Edmund Uher and the UHER Werke company. It began as an industrial and equipment manufacturer before moving into consumer and professional audio, becoming especially associated with durable German-built tape machines. The brand’s postwar identity was built on engineering rather than glamour, and its most important legacy comes from the era when portable recording was becoming essential to broadcasters and field journalists.

Uher is best known for open-reel tape recorders, especially the portable Report series, along with other tape decks and some hi-fi and dictation equipment. It was not primarily a speaker, turntable, DAC, or headphone brand in the modern sense, and those categories are not where its reputation was made. Instead, Uher specialized in rugged, practical analogue recorders aimed at serious users who needed reliable performance away from the studio.

In the market, Uher sits firmly in the vintage and collector category today. Its classic machines are valued for build quality, portability, and historical significance, rather than for current high-end audiophile status. For buyers, Uher is less a contemporary hi-fi brand than a respected name from the golden age of analogue recording, with strongest appeal to restorers, archivists, broadcasters, and vintage-audio enthusiasts.
