And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Old Tandberg reel-to-reel machines. Vey nice, from the mid-60s. The one on the right looks like a model 82. The one on the left is similar, but I don’t recognize it. I don’t know about the turntable, it’s one that I’ve seen before, the tone arm mount is familiar, but I can’t pin it down. The amp and tuner are unfamiliar to me.
Had one similar with Dokorders and and a Pioneer SX1980, 275 watts per channel.....turntable was a Girard with a Shure stylus...the amp drove a pair of Ohm F's....great sound if you could stay in the room with it....this was in 1979...
That's how you do multitrack editing (as well as copies, as Rastapopoulos said). You mix the next track and what's already recorded onto the other recorder, then swap and do it again, for as many tracks as you want, and as much duplication noise as you can stand. It's painfully slow, but it works.
Only a couple years ago at a garage sale for my mother, an older gentleman expressed great interest in the reel to reel equipment very much like shown here. After noting his excitement, I conferred with mother that she increase her asking price. At 5x what she had been asking he still got a great bargain. He was giddy with excitement.
He had zero interest in any of the blank reel tapes, or the high quality turntables and speakers, or even an extensive collection of well preserved LPs from the 1940s-1990s.
The tuner is a Marantz 10B and to this day is very, very desirable.
The tape decks are cute but aren't very useful nowadays; they're three-speed but only to 7.5ips. I don't recognise the record deck but I wouldn't trust it with any of my vinyl. There might be interesting power amplifiers behind there somewhere, but the Marantz control unit (which I don't recognise) may instead have integrated power amplifiers, and I don't think solid state power amps were much good in those days.

ReplyDeletePlease bow your heads in respects, as this is Satchmo's personal home audio rack (left as is after his 1971 death).
ReplyDeleteWhy 2 reel-to-reel decks?
ReplyDeleteThat is how he made copies of tapes.

I'm surprised there's no Crown DC-300 amp.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very similar to my father's entertainment center that he had assembled in Japan when we lived there.
