Bargains on ebay?

I left mine with a staff member in Northampton. Dunno what he did with it as the master idler was slipping on the motor/flywheel and the main control wouldn't stay engaged (a common problem I've seen a few times).

Nah, I want a Ferrograph logic 7, although apparently the heads wear out quickly because fast winding apparently doesn't lift the tape clear of them......

That Sony will just want a service.. There not far off 40 years old now..

I have no use for a 10.5'' machine dave you'll never see one in my collection..I think youll find you may get more trouble with a 'Logic 7' than an old Sony tbh, i've seen many of those logic controls fail. 'Logic 7' need a lot of money spending on them.. My 'Super Seven' cost me a lot of money, i was actually glad to see the back of it.

Aye non disengaging heads on FFw/Rew, that was one of the primary reasons that Betamax video machines were a flop putting aside the extra pitfall of short recording time available on high quality record..But like anything in the consumer electronics world if something is easier to use fuck sound/vision quality

Dave theres one thing theres no pressure pads on a 'Logic 7' like the older machines..Nice looking machines all the same..

...I'd just found out that the woman I love has terminal cancer...

Ali, let me say just a short sentence: i suffered from Hodgkin disease, the name sounding much better than to say lymphoma/cancer, which it actually is (was) - and am here, alive, 5+ years having since passed... thus, as Marco said, there's always hope

[Ali Tait]

There's always hope.She is fine at the moment,the cancer she had metastasized,and she has cysts all over her body,but they are all tiny at the moment.It's just a case of which grows first.

They sound great, the '377' are brilliant little machines. Very reliable.. walk all over say an Akai 4000,X201D etc.I think old Nick (Beechy) has a '377'

Indeed, and it punches way above it's weight. Nice example you've got there Andr'e, though I know it's guts need a good workout

Much like the Akai CR-81D you turned me onto; thanks for the Manual. Lid off tonight to try and get the azimuth sorted. Here goes nothing!

Good Luck. I've had that Sony in bits since this morning, worked on it constantly.It didnt work, the belts were knackered, the record wouldnt latch, brakes were catching etc etc you name it...All sorted 12 hours later, new belts,everything clean,oiled & greased looks like a new one..perfect, the flywheel motor is slightly noisy tho, i'm gonna strip & rebuild it, might aswell now.

I just went up the thread and saw this and the rest above it.
My wife and I will also pray for her it helps to know her name and say it in the prayer each time.

I have seen alot of people beat cancer,one thing they all had incommen was a positive aditude and dark green veggies like brocclii and asperagus are suposed to be very helpful,cancer loves sugar so she should watch her food choices very closely.

[Ali Tait]

Thanks Jeff,that's very kind.Her name is Michelle.She's trying a special diet,following the book by David Servan-Schreiber called "Anti Cancer-A New Way of Life"

[Themis]

As Jeff says, we're all with both of you, Ali.
