This recorder I got today at an estate sale for $1. It’s a good recorder with good features: Counter, CUE/REVIEW, AUTO/MANUAL level control (with VU meter), pitch control, 2 speeds (1 7/8 and 15/16 IPS).
I have never seen a tape like that with one reel and with loops, I guess its kind of like an 8-track player
It records from a line level source instead of the mic level. It a line-level was plugged into the Mic jack, it would overdrive and distort.
What does the aux jack do? I’ve never been able to figure that out.
The speed switch may just need cleaning. It’s a nice machine, and if you get it fixed you can have lots of fun.
I have one of these. The speed is really fucked up.
nice pitch control
shit man, cut your nails!
–!INFO!–
I put a new head in and adjusted the bias, now the treble is stronger on recording and is better at playing more tapes that before played weak do to the original worn head.
Dued, please remove the first comment that was posted by “ghostdued” because I didnt wrote it, so please remove it. Awsome recorder by the way.
What are your thoughts on the recorder?!
Dude that speed control thing is so cool!!
Now that sounds like heaven, a wollensak reel to reel
DEF-IN-ATE-LY! Higher standard. I just yesterday got a Wollensak 5300 reel-to-reel recorder, fixed it up, and it’s AWESOME!!
fantastic recording quality. Very very clear recording. and its got loads of features as well. Thats a fantastic recorder. I got a vintage panasonic cassette recorder that records very clear, I should make a video of it. This prooves that AC bias, and vintage equipment was build to a higher standard!
I’ll give you 900% profit on your money! You spent a dollar…I’ll give you TEN DOLLARS! And, I’ll even throw in an exta $10 for shipping. What a deal. This offer is only good ’til November 2009. What do you say?
I have a superscope R1220 receiver
lol thats better than my CD player!
I had a tape like that it was an endless loop but it was wound in a way similar to an 8 track tape and it did play in my walkman b/c it only uses the capstan and pinch roller to move the tape it only held 30 seconds of audio and you couldnt rew or FF it just play and if you wanted to hear something you heard earlier you had to wait for it to come back around
CassetteMaster this recorder by looking at it i think it will accept a cassette adaptor like for a cd player you ever tried that? good idea for your next video
Man!! That is a nice unit!! It’s got a lot of features. You got it for 1 dollar!?!?
That’s a nice unit you have there. Strut is one of the best songs from Sheena Easton. It sounded good on that unit too. Good find.
Facinating outgoing cassette tape! I have a couple that behave as an 8-track (endless loop fed from the centre of one reel & back again) but haven’t seen one like that with all those guides – cool! (great machine by the way, love the 2-speed option!)
Wow, that is a nice, feature packed recorder there! And that answering machine tape is different. I never seen a cassette like that before.
The station WB101 here is a good station without that and is commercial free!!!
That is one nice tape recorder, really nice high quality unit , like the way it records, and the double speed feature. You had a Bargin there!
I like to record stuff off the radio 2! like to see if I can record a complete song without the DJ talking over the start or the end, lol
