In the thread about the RT707, someone asked for some pictures. So here is mine for your delectation. This is only a small portion of my tape collection. Most of it is upstairs in my study - but that's far too untidy to share a picture of

Lovely - I'm most envious: a Studer and two Sonys!
What is the difference Charlie, between the Sony machine with three meters, and the one on the floor with two?

The 3 meter one is the APR5003 - 2 track with a third timecode head for syncing soundtracks with film. The 2 meter one is an APR5002 - standard 2 track version. The Studer is Josie's (Black Adder) A807/II. I did have a Revox G36 High Speed, but I sold that as it wasn't a patch on the others (nice though the G36 is).Originally Posted by Barry

“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

wOOw R2R porn ok. What's your turntable can I ask?
I've spotted a G36 for sale via gumtree for £400 but again it's probably too large for my rack, so I'm going to give up on this R2R purchase idea.
Strange things about R2R's is that you hardly ever see any photo's of the rear of the machine (showing it's depth or width) and how or where the interconnect cables hook up.

Peter,
It's a Platine Verdier with a special GT Audio Battery PSU (out of sight). It has two tonearms - Schroeder Model 2 with Allaerts MC1B and a vintage J7 rewired Hadcock 228 with a John Wright rebuilt Decca C4E.

You can find the owner's manuals for most of them online. Those have the dimensions in them. A small console style one that lays on its back would probably be a good start.
