Some years ago I posted on this forum asking if anyone had any reel to reels gathering dust on an arbitrary shelf in a storeroom or garage somewhere, I was bored and was looking for adventure and stimulation stemming from the days of old…. There were replies, including Mikes where his first...

Peter Gabriel Secret World Tour - 1994 Wonder if they used oxygen free cable with ferric cores placed at random intervals..??

Siberian rare earth magnets are no good for local use, the tempereature rating is not consistent with our requirements..

Beautiful, love the coiled steel belt, no risk of aging belts coming between the owner and and their favorite nature recording back in the day.. The Revox B77 counter belt saga is all too well known, especially the toothed belt, and yes despite these toothed belts being available on fleabay...

Deleted - my ears are shot, no sense in adding more..

Ah well, I guess that its all downhill from here then..

Well that’s great news!

Charles please forgive what might well be a silly question to you all things being even, especially given what you mentioned about the lack of woofer movement, but have you confirmed that your speakers are in phase with each other?

Love those VU meters, reminds me of the Tandberg machines

So I might be a little agnostic cable wise, mostly because I truly cannot justify figures of R10k or more for 1m of cable made of unobtanium built in a vacuum chamber by secret society members that increases my well-being while keeping vocals at bay without distressing saxophones not forgetting...

Agreed.. A question was raised by an equal RTR enthusiast from the States on facebook asking what will happen to RTR when 'we' nutters pass away, will it continue on... The replies were varied, but mostly agree that it pretty much ends with us, its a nostalgia thing it seems, to which I cannot...

Post some pics please - selling any of them??

Still love his guitar work when he played guitar while Tom Jones sang Feel Like Going Home, unfortunately the video quality is so poor, but he really makes a beautiful addition to the song, pity its only a few moments long..

100% HH, looking forward to it!

If it’s gold bling that you are looking for I have these 2 gathering dust..

These which I made for my Otari with collet system came out nicely, also a long time back…

And then of course just to annoy the purists this is one of two B77’s with flatface conversion and PR99 digital count with locator modification, they were fun to build….
