Great ad.
Pricing on the tape, $1.08 to $2.92 each based on a lot of five (5)!
Thanks for sharing the ad.
I know this is off the mark but I would guess a Sony just from the gray color and the way the top is connected to the unit.
Have a good weekend.

Hey, not to change the subject, but have you seen this:
Bassboy's Reel-to-Reel Info on CD's
Just curious.
So anyway, my guess would be Telefunken, but they seemed to all have a streamline look that this doesn't have. Maybe Tandberg?
Best,

Hi Wiggy,
yes I have those CD's, Geoff did a great job with both.

in with the old
Natural Sound Amp
Ampex. That's what it is. I have one that looks similar. Mine is a 900 series and needs repair so I am not sure how it sounds.

It may say Ampex, but it sure smells like Sony to me !- Joe

It looks to me like a VM deck a friend of mine once owned. Don't know who the OEM was. Since you say the maker starts with "A" all I can think of is AMPEX, who made lots of decks for other brands.
It does have a strong resemblence to an old REVOX, so I can see that as a very good guess. I don't see much resemblence to a Sony or Tandberg.

And the winner is......
I stumped all of you! Don't feel bad, I'd never heard of this company until I happened upon this r2r in a pawn shop either. It's an Arvin. No model number anywhere to be seen and the only other thing I can tell you is that it's a one motor deck with belts and 12V capable too. It works although the belts are tired and have there memory built in so W&F is scary. I'm going to recap this one and see if I can find belts for it as well as get the hum out of one channel. Just thought I'd share it with all of you that enjoy seeing different things now and then. Happy Day, Bob

Re: And the winner is......
My grandma had a mini reel deck by Arvin and exchanged audio letters with her son in Vietnam. Not understanding what Vietnam was, the grandkids used it as a toy and it was toast by 1976. I kept one of the Scotch tape reel cases and kept coins in it. I do not know where THAT might be at the moment.
