Here’s another piece of quad equipment I have. I had this reel2reel gone through several months ago to get it back to specs and it works great now. I used it for a month after I got it back from the shop to make sure it would stay running and had no problems. The tape in the demo here is a four channel tape and I pumped it through my Pioneer QX-9900 quad receiver. I have 6 Quad r2r decks so I’ll be selling this one sometime in the future. When I do sell it I’ll include the tape here PF:DSOTM in quad and also a tape of CCR Gold in quad.

Just testing out a 4-track reel-to-reel that I bought today for .60. Featuring a local 1984 recording by The Mynx. I believe the machine was first made around 1973-74. For what it is and the condition it is in, it was a steal!

This is a Swing song that I like from the 1940′s. This is playing on my reel to reel deck. The deck is a Pioneer RT-1020L quad capable deck. If anyone knows the name or artist please let me know. I am playing a home made tape that I purchased with no song list. I liked the songs so I will be posting them here.

It’s a Philips… guess what was wrong with it

The AKAI GX-4000D Reel-To-Reel Tape Recorder

A demonstration of this tape recorder I bought at a local thrift store for (It originally sold back in the 60s for 0 or more because it was an all transistor stereo recorder that doubled as a PA system). It works pretty well, except the Rewind & time counter do not work because the belts inside had melted. The VU meter also does not work, although that might be due to a wire that might have to be resoldered. It did not come with an owner’s manual so I had to figure out how to overdub on it thru trial and error. It overdubs between two tracks (making a mono master, very much like a Revox G36 does), degrading the previous recording significantly during the overdub, even if the previous recording was recorded very well.

A very nive reel-to-reel I got at an estate sale yesterday.

This is the second part to tghe video, I tried to make it under 10 minutes but I allways over-explain everything. In this part I do some recording demonstrations.
