well i won the auction for the stereo Revox PR99 MK III
jpmorris do you mean that the Revox PR99 MK III also plays and records in only one direction ?
well even if it does, it doesn't really matter that much does it, as i can still record good quality music on it. Or would it be better refurbishing this machine and selling it on ?
So my ideal choice then would be to try and bid for a A77 or B77 machine ?
A lot of the other reel to reel machines i had were
Telefunken
Magnetophon
Phillips
Grundig
Bsr
And many others
In my 8 years of using reel to reel machines in total i have had arround 40+ machines of all kinds of shapes and sizes.
My favourite so far has been
the Fostex Model 80 which has worked beautifully ever since i got it. Despite tracks 1 and 2 not working on playback
With this revox machine i will have all tape speeds covered from 1.78IPS to 15IPS, and all reel sizes covered up to 10.5In
so my studio setup consists of the following machines
Aiwa AX-7500 Tuner Amplifier
Fostex Model 80 Reel to Reel Tape Recorder
Tandberg Series 15 Reel to Reel Tape Recorder
Revox PR99 MK III Reel to Reel Tape Recorder (when it arrives)
So i will at last will have all the machines i need
