This is my latest purchase :eyebrows:
The former owner was a gent called John Edwards who run Hollywood studio in Clapton London
John told me this machine was used to produce masters for the Eurythmics prior to hem having their own studio also Iron Maiden
Johns claim to fame was no other than
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7EnYrW0oQM
John wrote the song as well as producing it :)
"Save Your Love" is a song which, when performed by duo Renée and Renato, was a UK Number one hit in December 1982. It remained at the top of the chart for four weeks before being knocked off by Phil Collins' "You Can't Hurry Love".[1] The song was written by Johnny Edward (creator and voice of fictional robot TV character Metal Mickey) and his wife Sue.
"Save Your Love" entered the UK charts on 13 November 1982 at number 38. However, it began to pick up sales during the Christmas period, and six weeks after its debut was at the top of the charts, resulting in it being played on Top of the Pops and many radio stations. Renée (whose real name was Hilary Lester), did not appear in the video for "Save Your Love"; instead, she was replaced by a model.
Number 1 in the pop charts for 4 weeks :)
John also still has Metal Mickey as used on LWT

The R2R was shown working but only through the built in monitor speaker , When I arrived home with it I connected it via the XLR - RCA and have nearly no output , very faint :scratch:
Also the XLR connecters are mega tight and I mean almost wrong mega tight :scratch:
