All Tube Type
Recorders Most Reel to Reels purchased from on line auctions. These reel to reels represent the best of the Hi-Fi recorders, made in America.. Most of the American company's making them went out of business in the 70's due to foreign competition. Reel to Reel's with tags checked out and record and play All mfg between 1950 - 1960 Some are labeled Hi-Fi. Some will play Stereo tapes. Staggered or Stacked. 50 years old and still running!! I have 3-1/2 walls of recorders on display. Most play and record.
Note: Most reel to reels loaded the tape from left to right....Some, like Pentron, Crescent, and DuKane loaded right to left? Just a decision on the part of the manufacturer. No advantage either way. Tape speed standard from the beginning.....3-3/4 & 7-1/2 ips. Some recorders single speed. Most dual speed. 7-1/2 good for music. 3-3/4 good for speech and tape economy.

My Present R-R "Recorder" Most of my recorders look like they have never been used. NOT THIS ONE! This R-R sort of talked to me. When I cleaned it there were lots of "Bits" of recording tape in it. The heads had wear on them. I got to thinking....who ever owned this machine loved it.....used it a lot. I got to thinking, I would like to continue the "Fun" with it too. So it became my main recording Reel to Reel. It works well and sounds great. |
