General Discussion / Re: The Joy of the Tape Project
« on: January 02, 2010, 12:05:19 AM »
Hello fellow tape enthusiasts. I just came across this site and will be keeping an eye on it.
What a great idea! If business improves for my little company, I will be a TP subscriber for sure.
My current collection of decks is small compared to many of those here. For playback of consumer tapes (some of which were my dad's in the fifties and sixties) I have a working Pioneer RT-707 and a Tandberg 64 that needs some love. For 2 track a very low mileage Ampex 440 (with a mono block, a stereo block, and a 1/2" 4 track block), a 440C that needs to be rebuilt, a Scully 280 in pieces, a radio station beater Otari 5050B and a pretty nice daily driver Tascam 38.
Kind of funny, my studio control room has a Studer audio console, CD player, and cassette deck, but no reel decks. The only Studer deck I have a lot of hours on was an A67 at a radio station early on in my career as a broadcast engineer. It was kind of a dog, but they probably fixed a lot of the issues with the replacement B67. My dream machine would be a A820 or a refurbed A80.
Looking forward to hanging out here in the new year.
