How you can convert your Revox B77 or PR99 into a Tape Project machine.

Tubes n tapes:

Thanks for the compliments on the article.

To retain the record function, one only needs to leave the components on the record boards and use new components for the modification described in the article.  The problem is that when the speed has been modified from 3.75/7.5ips to 7.5/15ips, the record adjustments and EQ are totally off, so you wouldn't be able to make any half decent recording with it anymore, even if the electronics are still in tact.

If the unit originally was a 7.5/15ips NAB machine, the record function at 7.5ips would still be valid. At 15ips you would record with an NAB EQ, but playback with IEC.

I got it.

Still a brilliant modification.

Hello everybody,

I hope you are safe and your families as well
I am an analog music fanatic Living in Germany (although I am French) crazy about Hard Bop

I just ordered my first Tape Project tape, I have a B77HS 2T IEC (320nwb at the Moment) and my dream is to bypass the OnBoard pre-amp to improve my Sound Quality/my pleasure ;-)

I have tried to find Arian's amazing article but the link does not work anymore, I would really like to read it... Would Arian or another member of the Group be willing to share it again?

Any other advice for me to enjoy Tape Project tapes on my machine is very welcome! My intention is to get a tube pre amp from Dan/Bottlehead as an external "head" pre amp ;-)

Many thanks in advance and stay healthy and home with great music!
Cheers
Thomas
