reel to reel

Hi, I am in possession of a 4 track revox B77 Mk2. However I stumbled upon a collection of 2 track pre-recorded tapes which interests me. Could it be played on my reel to reel? How common are 2 track tapes? Thanks much

I have a Technics RS-1520 and I would love to find a tech in Southern CA that can help me diagnose some sound quality issues - I'd be happy to have someone go through it (drop it off) or have a knowledgeable hobbyist just help me figure it out and we can work on it together. I consider myself...

New guy here, been a lurker for a while but you all seam really knowledgeable, hoping someone can help with my problem below. The problem that I have is that the reel tape plays way to fast, and only after it has been powered on for a while will the tape play at a normal speed I have already...

I posted years back about an RT-707 that had been badly damaged during shipping. The crippling blow was that I would need a new front chassis plate to get the tape to run properly again and this looked unlikely. However, I've recently been able to buy one and having now received it, I pulled...

Hey all. In my local thrift is a set of bulky SS-110 Akais. they seem to have a 10" speaker in each box and clasp together for carrying (face to face). It does not appear that the grillcloth can be removed (velcro or other plug style), so I cannot inspect the cones. Input is 1/4" female jack...

Hello, I'm not sure where to post or ask for advice so please excuse me if this is the wrong place. My adopted grandad was a professional sound man (I found this site when doing a search for his name/products and came across this item which was built and sold professionally by him...

does anyone have any experience of fixing the vu lights on one of these ? Before i start to deconstruct the thing, i.e. Easy fix ? Or not.....

I recently bought a second hand Philips N4504 reel to reel tape deck. It sounds OK when I plug my headphones directly in to the tape deck, however there is a loud hum when listening through my amp with RCA cables connected. Any thoughts?

I've had a Teac ST-1250s laying about the house forgotten for the past year+. I received it as a gift, sort of. (The email I was given to post payment to via PayPal was apparently not associated with an account, and I could not raise the seller again.) But this "heist" isn't the subject of my...

She works mostly like a dream. However, at power on I have to make sure all Right channel knobs are at zero or I get a big thump that quickly dies down. She has been belted, cleaned, oiled and demag'd. Changed out the input lines. Could Mr. Marantz be the culprit? The problem doesn't occur if I...

I know nothing, or just next to it, about reel to reel, except for the 3-inch and 5-inch tape recorders I had as a kid (before cassettes). And the enormous open-reel machine belonging our swingin' young neighbors, on which I first heard the Beatles' White Album through headphones. (I was...

Hi everyone, Long time lurker of this forum and have learned so much useful information, so first off want to say thanks to all of those who share their knowledge and experience. I have a Roberts 770x (same as Akai M8) reel to reel that I was using the tube preamplifiers as a stereo pre amp...
