The machine required a little work to get it running again, ...

This is an early Leevers RIch reel to reel tape recorder, designed for location productions such as film sets, this one is thought to be used on the film set "lawrence of arabia" and possibly others. After doing a bit of research, I descoverd an extract saying in 1962 a Leevers Rich 2 case location recorder with Sync pulse recording was used, sadly the machine had poor signal to noise ratio so ...

There doesn't seem to be many of these around, the CBL6 machine which still has the legs, throughout the series of Vortexions, all of them feature the same or similar style Wearite tape deck, the only real different looking machine was the CBL7, very low numbers made and only 1-2 stereo versions.

Does anyone know what make this machine is? Its a small compact 5 inch reel to reel which looks to be for use with data collection, with unusual input connetors and limited tape control functions, it looks as if it should be switched on and record only, no replay or winding functions.

The Elcaset, an unusual machine I couldn't pass by, though it is not staying in the collection I couldn't resist having a play with it, little did I know thi is quite a rare machine as JVC only made them for about a year, the Elcasete though better quality than the compact cassette was a flop. I haven't seen any videos of the LD-777 and not much on the internet about them so I though I would ma...

The Ferrograph Studio 8 is the first, only and last Ferrograph to truly be a professional machine not designed for the home market as well, unlike the Logic 7 which was indeed used in both, it does have studio standard balanced inputs and outputs (though the BBC did modify some to do so) I have been restoring these two machines for a number of evenings now, both of which were very faulty when I...

Studer C37 running a pair of large Siemens Maihak U45 Light meters

Studer C37 running a pair of large Siemens Maihak U45 Light meters
It’s wonderfully reassuring to see one’s master tapes being handled so well. I’m a big fan of Studer studio machines for that reason. I no longer use tape but when I did the Studer was always my first choice, generally 800 multitrack.
Any new videos coming up? Loving the channel
Variable speed is a good thing to have especially when a tape was recorded from a record player that played a little fast or a slightly slow tape transport with the tape being recorded on.
The fast forward mode only works when it’s in loudspeaker playback.
How many all time hits got rcordered in that equipment
Cal/uncal is NOT an automatic gain control. CAL means Calibrated, it merely sets the machine's input/output signal levels to recognised studio standard voltages, rather than operator adjustable levels.
❤ I don't have any digital tape recorders in my collection. (I have many analog machines.) I certainly wouldn't turn away that Sony DASH machine, but I would *LOVE* to own a Studer C37. Right now, my first and only Studer is a B67 MkI. I dream of someday adding a C37 or A80 or an A800-series machine to my collection!
❤❤❤❤
Hi, I have a question. I also have an X-1810D. However, when I power, the unit on the capstan is constantly spinning. Also, when in play, both reels start spinning very fast in opposite directions. What could this be? Any help is very appreciated.
Hi, the capstan should spin all the time when powered on, the reel motors will spin in opposite directions when in play mode if theres no tape laced up, have you tried playing a tape?
@Seblington No worries, I found that out shortly after commenting, silly me! I did, however, find the fuse had blown, and the motor run capacitor was shotty. I've since then ordered a new cap. Thanks, Seblington!
We all been there. On of the Rifas at the small boards at the top? Happened on my B67 as well, also kept on going. Almost done recapping her now, runs without issues now with a PSU that had everything but two transistors replaced.
Hello, how about Aiwa tp series 1009, 1010, 1011?

Hi Is this channel still up and running ? Wanted info on pcm 3348
Hello I have same model Tc-850 In quiet room i hear capstain motor flywheels especially ,on 38 speed ,but no very loud Is that normal ? Regards
The one I have now is super quiet, so it could probably do with a service
@@Seblington Thank you for information. Mine is not super quiet ,maybe flywheels bearings are not perfect
@@Seblington After replacing the capstan flywheels bearings everything working quiet now 😃👍
It’s just so wrong for one person to own that money, and with others out here like me who can’t even afford one of them😢
Not the best anymore but nice to see these vintage machines.

By Oxide Out, I'm guessing you mean the heads are on the underside of the tape path?
Achtung! 😄
Are you making reparation this recorder? I have same, what not works, seams something with CPU, because can not switch speed. bridge not reacting, etc.
Is this a multi track recorder.like for a studio.guitars drums vocal recording?
It appears the sensitivity of the meters are too hot, no way the repro was recorded at those levels.
I'd be scared to death by those flange-less reels. I'd have visions of miles of tape flying all over the shop!
Just watched another YT video on the same machine without any commentary, which was annoying. Yours, on the other hand, was fascinating. Thanks.
Pardon? Sorry, I couldn't make out what you were saying because someone was playing a Rolling Stones record all the time you were speaking. Have you got neighbour problems?
Did you ever get this working?? I just acquired one of these!!!
I'm looking for a second machine as it needs some spare parts, till then I havent tried.
Hi, do you still have this recorder in your collection?
Sold a long time ago
The song is very good. What do you call it? Can I have permission to use it in one of my videos? If so, who should I credit it to?
Many thanks, yes if you can give credit to VintageRecorders that would be great and you can use it.
I never knew it had a speaker been running mine threw the amp
Sorry... but, for the money honey, I'll take my Studer a807any day. I'm very happy with it. I bought it just about 3 years ago for about $4000.00, that's buck-a-roo$. It operates flawlessly (after a little TLC). Don't get me wrong. I'd love to have an 820. Most of all I'd love to own a J-37 because of the 50 + tubes.
The A807 is an awesome machine, took me ages to get a VU model with the original side panels, have had a couple of J37’s but sold them, got a couple C37’s though, fit my collection better. This video is very old and I think I have had 6 A820’s since, down to 2 now ( a ¼ inch and ½ Inch), a few years ago they were much easier to find ( you don’t want to know how much I paid for the one in this video😉 )
Why in the world did you get rid of your J37’s????!!!! Do you like the sound quality of an A820 better than the legendary J37? I find the sound quality of tubes to be much more superior to solid state. I know the A820 has more bells & whistles, but I’m just talking about the sound quality.
@@steelcantuna The J37 doesnt fit my collection, but I do have a few C37's, in fact, the two machines connected to my main HIFI are the A820 and C37. As to which is better? its a matter of taste really, thats why I use both.
Stunning collection.
How very strange!
I love it. thanks so much for posting this video. I so want one - but in stereo - I know I'll just use 2.
A lot of audio equipment from the 1920s - to the 1960's looked like it was virtually indestructible.
Thanks for sharing with us !
German engineering at its best
i own 3 Otari's and a teac, would trade two of the Otari's for a clean Studer all day long
I too have several OTARI machines, they are awesome.
Where do you get the VU meters ?
They came with the machines
My God that's GORGEOUS!!!!! 😍😍 absolute PRECISION MACHINERY!!!!
I worked with four of these for over a decade. The flight case is just the right width to go between your knees! I must have done a hundred thousand edits using a CAT automatic splicer with tape dispenser on top of the head block. With Ampex 456 and Dolby A (later dolby SR) these produced the best sound at 15 ips that I have ever heard. We had no meter bridges and used the twin, twin PPMs on the Calrec mixer for everything. Just hearing all the mechanism noises brings a tear to the old eye! Our Otari machines never really felt right and they were massive, Editing on a big machine - even an A80 - is hard on the back after the compact B62.
THOSE BIG MACHINES HAVE A PRICE. MASTER MIXER. BEN LIEBRAND HAS A BIG TAPE MACHINE. AND HE TALKS. THAT FOR THE PRICE YOU CAN BUY A CAR.
hi you are the only one in the uk with this number of decks i ever seen i used to get around myself looking at decks corr you got to have help over time getting decks in i am finding the tascam 30 lines are not that great and someone need to make a new pcb logic (pcb way ) because the pcb in the decks are going bad over time i am finding now 40 years very good i am finding drop outs on my brennel mini 8 after i just fix it on the trans port
今から見ると、珍しい形状のレコーダーですね。 興味深いです。 拝見できてうれしいです。ありがとうございました。
As great as those machines are (and I've worked with them before), I'd really be hesitant putting a three or five inch reel of tape on one side, and a 10.5 inch metal takeup reel on the other. I'd be very afraid of the machines handling of the tape with those awkward differences. Nice video, though. Enjoy the machine. I'd love to have one but have nowhere that kind of money!
Its not a great practice to mismatch reels, for example, if I was to fast rewind to the 3” reel then stop, the weight of the 14" reel may cause over spool, though the machine does recognise this and stops without damaging the tape. But for this video, it demonstrates it can, and quite successfully, even in wind (Library mode), showing great tape handling capabilities, but yes, its good practice to have matched sizes, and in most cases, not to use reels with smaller hubs than the spool hub (something which is apparent in the A820’s setup where it asks what size hub you have, it doesn’t list super small ones).
It's now 03/2023...did you find out what smoked? We've been patiently waiting for your follow-on.
Fixed the machine that week and sold years ago, it did in fact turn out to be a 0.47uf cap hidden by the AC input.
Hey. Do you still have this deck? Where are you located at? British or Australia
It was sold a long time ago.
AMAZING!!
I had a Ferrograph Studio 8 stereo console (with mic preamps) and it was not only good, but had some highly innovative ideas incorporated. I still have my Stellavox SP-8, bought in 1982, replacing its predecessor SP-7 on which I interviewed its creator, Georges Quellet, at an event many years ago.
Its always interesting to hear stories from people who used these devices as part of their profession, I love the SP8's over the SP7 and its potted electronic modules. My Studio 8 machines all needed the electrolytic caps replacing, after finding one faulty, a few days later, another went, so just replaced them all. I now only have 8 Studio 8's both with the MIC boards, and I have a spare lower AMP unit with the PPM and drivers, fun to think this video is now 10 years old, the workshop has changed so much since then.
@@Seblington My SP8 recorded the last official run of the Flying Scotsman loco, and also worked on the soundtrack of a cinema film, many years ago, the latter with a pilot (SXQ) module temporarily installed and a change of headblock for the duration.
