Does anyone have £2,400 and a burning desire to make one magnanimous gesture that could make a major Floyd / reel to reel to fan very happy?
If so, check this out and drop me a PM

*sigh* (why don't I have more money ?)
Nick, when I read your posts about reel sound this and reel sound that, I almost cry to have given away my recorder...

Have the idler wheels melted ?... they are easy enough to get on E-Bay. Nice machine.
I have couple, a Revox A77, 4 track, mk4 Dolby, Revox B77 mk2, 2 track, high speed and a very old 4 track Akai, the model number I can't remember at the minute.
Your right about recording speeds, 7.5 is the ideal one, keeps the taping time relatively good and maintains quality. However 15 is the best but...boy does the tape run out fast.
Must say your Prog interests are very interesting, I haven't heard of about 2 thirds of what you have posted so far.

Kind of, they were made from a rubber that turned to goo over the years, you just send em off & have new better rubber vulcanised onto the old wheel..A couple people offer this service.
7.5ips is the real quality minimum, you won't find 15ips on a 7" machine but these Ferrograph even though they are technically a 7" machine will take an 8" reel in which ferro made. 10" machines are the choice for that higher speed..30ips is serious studio clobber. If i remember their is a version of this machine that has 15ips & also runs half inch tape.
Hell of a lot of obscure early prog bands a lot of people havent heard of, i'm an obsessive & don't mind being the in house Prog evangelist
