A few years ago I aquired an Ampex ATR-700 in great condition. It came from a local radio station that was switching to an all digital format. They made 6 models of this deck and they came in low speed(3.75/7.5 ips) or high speed versions(7.5/15ips). Being from a radio station, the one I have is the low speed half track version (3.75/7.5 ips).
From what I have read, the high speed half track versions when run at 15 ips are pretty good mastering decks even though they are a less desired Tascam made product.
So to get to my point....
I want to know if I can modify this thing. To turn it into the high speed version so I can use it for mastering.
Any help or leads would be very appreciated.
p.s.
I have three extra manuals for this machine. I only need one. I would be willing to send them off for $25 bucks a piece if that sounds fair. They are the real deal original in great shape.
