A Nagra SNSTR - a stereo version of this miniature recorder.
Amazing machines these - performance is staggering.
That is very cool. Never realised such a thing existed.
Cool. I've been watching The Man from UNCLE (9-11 every week-night on channel 61, True Entertainment .. don't miss it!), so I now want all the secret agent stuff ... one of those mini-recorders, a triangular badge with a number on it, a radio pen, and the sniper-luger gun kit, please :thumbsup:
It was developed for the CIA by Nagra. The intials "SN" stand for 'Serie Noir' (Black Series) reflecting it's intended covert use.
Completely useless for domestic use: the item for sale is only part of the complete system. It can only record (on special 2mm wide tape, though it might be possible to use 1/8" cassette tape wound onto the reels) and has to be rewound by hand using the hand-crank. To play back the recording the recorder has to be fitted to a special dock made by Nagra.
Nice toy and a beautiful piece of engineering, but domestically it is only of interest as an objet d'art.
(Talking of spys and 'The Man from Uncle', a Nagra SN appeared in the film 'The Conversation', the Francis Ford Coppola film about a covert wire tapper, starring Gene Hackman.)
Still nice I like it :ner:
