The great sounding TANDBERG!

[niklasthedolphin]

I would keep the 3004 too if I had one.

I think Tandberg made some of, if not, THE best gear within limited segment of Hifi.

Tandberg Tuner TPT 3001A is fighting with Day Sequerra Studio and Magnum Dynalab MD-109 to be the best ever FM tuners.

Tandberg TCD 910/911 combo is the best ever cassette recorder/player.
TCD 910 and then 3004, 3014A, 3014 are followers next to no other cassette decks.

The Rest of Tandbergs production were from very good to average.
Never bad and never the best.

I respect the collectors and I respect the brand.

I have the Tandberg TCD 910 and the TPT 3001A
and would like to own the 911 and the 3004 one day when I have enough money and luck to find them.

It`s been some years collecting all this,but enough is enough,so now I try to keep the stuff working-mainly that is..There`s still a few donators knocing on my door now and then,and I just can`t say NO!
You probably don`t know of all the norwegian brands..We had quite a few some years ago,but the most famus abroad was Tandberg and Radionette (the little Combi-radio-turntable is a Radionette),and maybe Edda..? They all started out as Radio-factories and developed into tv AND HI-FI as the years went by.Edda ended it`s production in the early sixties,Radionette and Tandberg became the same company in 1972,but the brandnames was kept apart still.The Tandberg company went bankrupped in 1978,an became dividet into several bits and small units as we know it today with Tandberg Data as the biggest.The Hi.Fi unit kept on through different ovners up until apx 2000,but not mutch vere produced after 1998.The latest well knovn product they made was a little amplifier called TROLL.I dont know if it was sold in Gb,but maybe some of you can help out regarding that..?
Excuse my English,I dont use it so mutch,but I hope you get the picture.

Rune,

I've been offered a nice condition TR 220 GC which will be useful for a while as I get my Lenco working. Have you had any experience of these units? They were at the budget end of Tandberg's lineup but the turntable was a Dual 1225, I'm not sure how these are rated by folks who've heard them though.

I like the look of the TR220 amp/receiver. It had quite classic design.

If I remember in Angus MacKenzie's famous cassette deck comparisons of the mid to late seventiesTandberg, Nakamichi and Pioneer were always struggling for supremacy !

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie, and I came across this place while searching for answers on my new Tandberg model 62 (well it's new to me).

That's some collection ulfsn , well done.


Basically, my Tandberg model 62 works perfectly as far as transport & playback are concerned.

However, I tried recording a stereo track in both the Hi & low inputs, & while monitoring during recording, there is an amount of distortion on the left hand side in each case.

This is apparent during playback of these recordings also, but playback is fine pre existing recordings.

I tried cleaning the heads, but this hasn't helped, & as a novice, I'm not sure where to start trying to identify the problem. Could it be a valve problem, or is it bound to be something else?

Any advice or help that could be offered in my direction would be hugely appreciated, as I'd really love to get this sexy beast in perfect working order, for my own recordings.

Thank you so much. :-)

ps. I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Maybe I should have started a new thread, but when searching on the web, google sent me straight into this one & ulfsn seems to be quite the Tandberg guy.

Hi Reeler,

Welcome to the forum

We usually ask our new members to pop into the welcome area and say hello first before posting on the main forum but as you've done it here we'll let you off

What's your first name?

Hi Marco,

My first name is Jerry. Forgive me for not saying Hi in the welcome area. As I said, I was desperately searching for info on my Tandberg, & google sent me right into this thread.

It seems like a great forum, & a great resource for everyone. On the downside, I'm a complete novice when it comes to vintage gear.

I do however, do a lot of recording in my studio here at home. I record in the digital domain, & I try to get some analogue warmth back in to my sound by putting everything through valve compressors & front ends etc.

The Tandberg62 was supposed to help me here too as I was going to bounce everything down to tape, but it's not fit to do so at the mo.

Thanks for the welcome

Hi Jerry. Thanks for that. If you could please add 'Jerry' as your signature underneath posts that would be great so that members can address you by your first name.

Yes Tandberg has some class gear.

You're very welcome on AOS and I hope you have fun

Marco.

I have or had many Tandberg components and love most of them. I just picked up a pair of TL-5010 floor speakers and I can't find out diddly about them. Any help out there?

Hi ULFSN

Nice to see a Tandberg lover around!
For your information we've been using a very special patented Tandberg configuration in some of our amplifiers (A-18 etc.). The fun is that it has the character of a tube circuit!
