The C 235 was an automatic cassette recorder manufactured by the Grundig Corporation, and available in 1975/76. It had an automatic recording level control, which was a powerful feature that ensured that the recording level and bias was correct thereby preventing distortion. Mains or battery could power this portable unit. Although the outside case appears basic, these cassette recorders had extremely neat and tidy electronic build and the engineering is still impressive today. During the time of manufacture, this series had four versions, C 230, C231, C235, and MC 231.
