Hi Ki, no it's an ex-Australian Army IV-L. I was in communication with David Lane at Richmond Film Services when I got news of his death. Unfortunately there is now no-one there with the knowledge and experience to fettle analogue Nagras.
Re Monsieur Gurtner of Stellavox, I have found him somewhat evasive since he told me I would be getting my SP7 "next week" over a month ago. Kostas Metaxas told me he had to wait 6 months for the return of a modified SU8.
My last communication from Gurtner was an apology and statement that he would be shipping my Stellavox "tomorrow".
That was a month ago.
Still waitin' & whistlin'
It's not the waiting that has peeved me, it's the gratuitous lying.
Brian.
