I am not a "real" reel to reel tape recorder collector.
I obtained some NAGRA reel to reel portable tape recorders:
NAGRA III with carry bag and original operators/service manuals. This is a mono machine.
NAGRA IV-S with carry bag, original operators/service manuals and microphone. This is a stereo machine.
This is the first time I have seen these NAGRA's. The workmanship is just absolute stunning. It was used in the film industry.
It is a mechanical wonder. Both are in a more or less good cosmetic condition.
These machines, specially the stereo one are so complex in it operation and use so one has to study its manual in great detail.
Secondly a full electronic inspection has to be done before even attempting to switch it on.
Thirdly I will use a precision screwdriver set and wrench set as not to damage any of it screws and parts.
it is such beautiful vintage machines that need to be professionally restored.
For now it is going in storage.
I would appreciate any inputs/response regarding these tape recorders.
