Very beautiful recorders, Neil. These machines are timeless.

(I promised myself not to by a RtR and tapes anymore... )

Thank you Themis.

I assume you have a reel to reel machine ? from your comment above. Which one to you have ?

I don't have anymore, I gave away my B77... (and the tapes).

Sorry to read that.

You know, Neil, I didn't really regret it at first. But gradually, I miss some (very) good recordings. CD is ok, of course, but...

Anyway, perhaps in a few years I'll get another one. You can never know.
These machines last for very long !

NEIL, your A77 mark 2 really takes me back (to 1972/3). I had the matching amp. and tuner and boy did it look the bees' knees! Used to record most nights from 'Sounds of the Seventies', but from vinyl too. Lovely machine, and much, much better than the A77 mark 1 I had before, or the Tandberg 64X come to that.

Ah, those student days......

Hi Mike

It was sold to me as being an early mk4 Dolby. I am aware that the switches and dials changed on that model..so I suppose it could be a very late mk3. However the guy who sold it who is very knowledgeable about Revox and Reel to Reels and has a super on-line reputation(I asked if he would like to join AOS, but he so far hasn't)had it described as a mk4. He sent it in its original box + extra box and packaging..it arrived in one piece..with spare metal 10 inch reel and another metal reel full of tape (Ampex 456)...no SS issues. The machine as I wrote earlier was serviced (NOS parts) tweaked and set up/calibrated for 456 tape by the legendary Brian Reeves. It is a delight to use.

I have another one (non Dolby) in for service with Rodney Hanna. It should be up and running fully soon...including some RH modifications...better RCA jacks, end of tape sensor etc.

An early Revox tuner, would be nice, but they fetch too much imho, at the minute. You must have been quite a well off student.

I wish I'd kept my A76 tuner - You'd have loved it Neil......

Hi Dave

I am sure I would too.

I keep looking at them, but I can't really do it at the mo. Maybe if I do a classic European tuners write up in the future.

It's a Mk.III Dolby B model.
