^{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.}

_{.......Check out the reel to reel videos on each page.........}

_{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.



WOW!

Wilcox Gay 2A-10-B 1952
