Thing is though I do use the Tascam a lot cos I love the sound of it and parts for them are like rocking horse sh*t so I had to have them and I would gladdly sell all the other's and just keep the Tascams
Now if a Studer A812 were to come along I would be very tempted by that :D

Hi Alan,
Did you see the article on Analog Planet from Mike Fremer having learnt that a real to real tape machine is going back into manufacture soon?
Jimbo
No but thanks for the tip that's great

Im glad to hear that as I love tape machines, I hope its Studer who is going to start manufacturing again ?
I recon to make a tape deck now will cost a fortune though, guess I will just have to keep buying good old ones

Studer A 820 one of my dream Reel 2 Reel players

Is that a Wavetech sig gennie in your 2nd picture Alan?
I lusted after one of those from my workplace, now I've left my colleague has bagged it.
No its just a Farnell unit, LesW from Avondale loaned me it and it did a fine job but I have replaced with a dual channel OWON 1022 which is also greatQuote:

Finally got round to picking up the 2 Tascam BR20s from my Ebay purchase
One is just a playback machine and was used to edit interviews, this was filthy but tape heads still very good
The full record playback machine is in mint condition and has virtually no wear on the tape heads that I can see so it has had very little use from new :), they have both been in storage for approx. 5 years, only bumber is the missing knobs on one machine
I cleaned them up and calibrated them and they both play very nice music indeed, very please particularly with the unit in the photo below
