An Unexpected Recording on a Penncrest rim-drive reel-to-reel tape recorder portable.
January 22nd, 2010 | 
Author: This is a rather humerous recording made on this recorder back in the day. I had to do lots of cleaning and lubrication to get this machine up and running, because battery corrosion had messed up some bearings and moving parts.

Akai 1720W reel-to-reel deck, built-in speakers!
A very nice little deck, and high quality sound.
Akai GX-230D reel-to-reel deck.
Found it being thrown out while driving to school on Monday, September 22, 2008. A classic and direct drive deck, it’s neat!

The Mayfair FT-303 capstan drive portable reel-to-reel…
Yes, a classic! A LOT of work I did to fix this, I replaced all the electrylitic capacitors, but still didn’t fix a weak amp. I replaced a bad transistor and it fixed the amp. I also replaced the belt, as it was LOOSE. I re-did a spring for the take-up reel idler and lubricated the spinning parts with 3-in-1 oil. DC bias on this one, but surprizingly good for DC bias and the S sounds normal.

Craziness of the Reel-to-reel Tape.
Four portable reel-to-reels have one tape going through all of them! Two are capstan drive, two are rim drive. The whole situation is quite noisy and LOUD!! CRAZY and INSANE! reel-to-reel at the state of total chaos!
