You ever notice how much cooler these machines seem? Reel to reel's in general.. I mean you can sit there and 'watch' the media being recorded.. with digital there is no perceptual feedback like there is with analog.. I love analog lol.

1949! wow :eek:
Yeah!

I scooped a bunch of stuff off of the Ampex site a while ago and it took forever to download the stuff because their server is painfully slow. :o

I've got tons of this kind of stuff but it's all too big a file size to post here and I'd have to resize, (read shrink) the photos to get them to upload here and then the print becomes too small to read on many of them. :rolleyes:

Here's a link to the site where I got them from.

Cheers! :)

Exactly. I find the same thing with wind turbines vs. solar panels. I like to hear it/see it working.

Is that you Daniel?

No, it's just some fellow from a mic ad, if I'm not mistaken, that I cut/edited the bottom part off ... ;)

what I can spot is, that the damn coffe mug is in very bad position and looks like pretty unstable ... When you do things like that, then all you can do later is to say "Oopsy-poopsy!" ... :D

Good call. Yeah, I didn't look that close but I shudder at the thought of it spilling onto the nice 388. :eek:

If the fellow in that ad is a real musician, he's probably broke and uses that cup to beg for change on the street. Ergo; the mug is empty and harmless. :D

Cheers! :)

huh hah huh! :D
o.k. let me try this line of thoughts....
If the fellow in that ad is a real musician... ... then he gets really exited at some point of the performance, starts moving to the beat a lil'too'much, kicks the desk, the mug falls, stale coffee runs all over... The guy turns around and starts screaming: "Ow! Beatch! F*k! Look what I've done! Ouch! Crap! Look what I've done to my music-notes!.... DamnIt!" , He quickly grabs his precious note-book, shakes and swings it hard, trying to shake the coffee off the sheets, which creates even more mess all over the 388 plus all over the speakers, keyboards and what ever or whoever else is around....
:D :D :D
 
Damn, I seem to remember throwing out my 1992 Tascam catalogue with price list from Direct Imports. I hope I didn't.... will have to have a look sometime.
