You can get 407 from US Recording Media at www.usrecordingmedia.com Just navigate your way to their 1/4 open reel tape page. Or you can check at the Quantegy website, www.quantegy.com for another dealer. By the way, Ampex spun off its tape manufacturing division, in Alabama, which is now...

If you can take the time to shop carefully, and, admittedly, have a bit of luck too, then you can find a Revox A77 in very good to excellent condition for very little. I got a very good high-speed, half-track A77 for under $100 including shipping. The Revox won't limit you to 7" reels, and if...

What about American Recording S-721H, the stuff that US Recording sells? Is it good but expensive, or are the alcohols you guys recommend better? I'd like to know what you all think because I have a new, unopened yet, can of it sitting right here. Noticing that none of you mentioned it made...

The price :eek: For a pair of empty reels? Heck, I can get NEW (albeit old stock), sealed 3M 996 on much heavier and better 3M precision reels, gold too, for a whole lot less than he is asking for a couple of empty reels. Like four or five reels of tape for his starting bid price for two...

If you are still looking for a take up reel, check this auction on eBay out. It is for 10 reels of 3M 8206 logging tape, the kind that police depts used to use on their voice-activated, low-speed logging machines to record all the telephone calls. Throw out the tape and you have yourself 3M...

What do " . . . bare naked ladie[s]. . . " have to do with multi-track recorders? Except that they both look much better with, . . . uh, ahem . . , big reels on 'em. :D

Thanks for the info. The sites Dave posted in response to this question, and that he bumped up in other threads are very informative. What I was looking for was something that might have had, for 3M 996, the kind of great detail that BASF/Agfa/Emtec, and now, RMGI publishes for their tape...

Does anyone know how to read the date codes on the leader on 3M pancakes and labels on reels? Also, does anyone have or know how to get the 3M datasheet for 996? Some clown has one on eBay he wants $23.00 for. For a single page. Not gonna happen from me.

Thanks. No specs for the head gap, unfortunately. Not even in the service manual. But -5 dB beyond peak should be easy, because the service manual gives -6 over peak for several tapes, including 3M 256, Ampex 456, Agfa 528 & 468, etc. I've been wondering if the gap is the same as other...

I sure wouldn't mind finding this under my tree Sunday morning!

Does anyone know the correct setting, -dB below peak signal, for 3M 996 on a 2-track Revox A77?

Tracy at ATR has asked me to post the original message, but edited a bit. The changes she made are all good for us, and are all in the second paragraph, about sales/distribution. They seem interested in finding stores and distributors to carry their tape! And they want our help!! I say let's...

Yes, nice amp. Was watching that auction for a few days. Those sellers do have quite an interesting collection. Anecdote: Back in the mid-1970s a friend of mine, the service manager for the local McIntosh dealer, showed me a couple of MC275 amps that he had bought for his church. Got them...

Emailed ATR Magnetics this morning to find out what was going on with their tape. Below, cut and pasted is their response. Good Morning Scott: We are currently finishing up our in house testing and clearing our last rounds of facility inspections. After which, we will move into a round of...

I don't know of any suppliers that are in Sweden, but eBay is a good starting place. There are a few individuals who sell both the adapters and reels for the Revox machines who are located in Germany or Switzerland. Search eBay using the term "revox." If you need the NAB adapters, you can...

Hopefully the analog Gods will forgive me for using my first post here this way, but couldn't resist: NO, No, no! "Wow" isn't "the most searched and most wanted and thus - the best selling item on e-bay," "Rare" is! Like the "rare" Revox 10" Spool, or the "rare" ReVox 10.5" NAB alloy (alloy?)...
