The Analog Tape Thread

[WOStantonCS100]

I stumbled on this old piece of film - RCA Victor promoting a tape format that I've never heard of before.
Just brilliant!

Those old promos crack me up.

Meanwhile, back at the lodge, RMGI and ATR still churn out newly manufactured reel to reel tape.

Gorgeous bit of kit, must liberate my reel to reel from Mum's, it's one of these -

Snap!

Gorgeous gear. What's in the top right of the first photo, next to the Series 7? Is that outboard Ferrograph gear, perhaps separate amps?? I don't see meters.

Hi Biff

They are Mk.I & II Ferrograph 'F307' amplifiers.

Hello,

Anyone could tell me what could be the price of a properly working Studer A807?
I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks and regards,

Hello and and hope I am in the right place to post this. I am new here and welcome all comments. I also appreciate each of you for sharing your tape experience with me. I became a lover of Reel to Reel machines and related music when I returned from Germany in 2007. I have had a number of tape decks purchased from Ebay. I finally learned I had to be more than careful as several of the tape decks did not arrive as represented by the seller. Now I have a Tascam 32-2B and Tascam 42B. The 42B is my favorite to the extent I has is specially modified to play directly from the playback heads through a tube tape head pre-amp. I have acquired 15 plus tapes. Equalizations are IEC or NAB and all tapes run at 15ips. I will try to figure out how to put photos of my system here as soon as possible. Thanks again for your patience.
