revox

Hi all, I’m a new member and to completely honest not really that knowledgeable on this sort of thing. There was an accident today where my 1yo broke my grandfathers revox A77 mark 3 (he’s only had it a few weeks after waiting years to get one). I know there isn’t anything I can do to make up...

I have nice sounding Revox setup. I want to add a Revox A720 receiver + pre amp to a Revox A50 integrated amp because the A720 should give me more flexibility. My other components are Revox B710 cassette player, Revox B225 CD player and AR turntable. Any thoughts on pre amp + integrated amp combo?

Wow and Flutter I’ve had a Vernier force sensor for educational use for a couple of years, acceleration and gyroscope. I didn’t have time to play with it until a couple of weeks ago, it connects via Bluetooth and can collect up to 1000 samples per second, here, acquiring the data, 5 minutes of...

Just a VERY random note. Not saying that this is an actual epidemic problem with a fifty plus year old tape recorder... But i've been now cut by two of them... From the trim portions on the front cover with either stainless steel or aluminum sheet metal trim.... Tonight, where's the worst and...

Hello! I do not know much about the machines in the images and that is very obvious to the people on eBay lol. I am struggling to find a good source to learn more about them so I am not misleading anyone in the process of selling them. Quick backstory: they have been sitting around for a few...

Steve at JM Technical Arts refurbished my Revox A77. Now its time to use it and i have read and confused myself to paranoia. I want to start recording. First, i have a DVD player that plays SACD. I want to connect it up. Do i need to go through a preamp first, like the one i use for my record...

Greetings, I have the Revox A77 R-R tape deck. The tape source and take-up guides are static and eventually I the tape will wear these guides. Also, older tapes will squeal adding that noise to a digital transfer. To remedy this, I added Teflon tape (plumber's tape) around the guides. This...

I've come across a unit that did not operate. Did a full recap, including the five in the drawer mechanism. It now plays, but I can't get the drawer to open or close. I checked the motor and its drive transistors and both tested OK. The rack and pinion gear mechanism is properly set. I...

Hi! I'm new in this forum. I have a Revox B77 (2 tracks, 2 channels + Slide Synch option) open reel tape machine. Even the years, almost all is fine (I need a new Counter belt, but it is just a detail). From a week or so, I cannot to get full audio from the monitor board. I just get -42 db...

Hey y'all! B285. Recapped. Volume works fine as long as its plugged in. Unplug the unit, plug it back in, volume is now at ZERO db or in laymans terms, FULL VOLUME! This is not fun. Button monster gone tweeter popper! Help! I noticed this during a power outage. I'm an electronics technologist...

The typical revox cap issues created a bunch of problems. I replaced all electrolytics. Frako, phillips, and Rifa all replaced. Changed out the LM337 because it got hot prior to the major cap work. Most problems got resolved but some problem are still there. One of them is that the volume will...

I bought this player. VERY good condition, been serviced, have the slips. While playing a tape when i turn the volume knob to zero the left speaker continues to play. Turning the volume up does increase the volume but i dont get the full stereo in the Left until it is maxed out. Turning the...

HI all, been working on this deck for three months, and finally have it working. Sharing my repair process. Warning, short circuit will ruin your sensors First, whenever you are working on this deck, unplug it! The sensors have exposed circuits, and if they touch the chassis while it is...

Its very nice, actual one owner, recently serviced with paperwork. It is a quarter track. Price is right, comes with a Dolby unit. When i go online to look it up many people say opt for the faster machine. This is a "consumer" grade machine and not that good. I know how picky some people...

I am currently refurbishing a Revox B77 and I have noticed that there seems to be some Wow & Flutter especially on sustained piano and oboe. I have cleaned the heads and all the tape path, but I am not sure where too look next. Any suggestions or pointers would be most welcome. Simoncs

Hi. I hope you are All good. I have a problem with my Revox B215. Checked some forums but didn’t find what I’m looking for. To the point: My old trusty deck developped some strange sickness -it plays nice but input signal is very high and disturbing when switched to source, and then it records...

Hey guys, I just got my Revox after repairs (after playing with it for hours non stop it smoked on me, luckily it was the power block, and not a motor) Anyways, eversince I got it I can't quite figure the correct way to thread the tape - above or beneath the stationary guide at the beginning...

Hi all, I have a 2-track standard speed (7.5&3.75ips) Revox A77 that I'd like to calibrate. I know that I need to buy an MRL tape, but I'm confused as to which one I need. I think this one fits the bill: https://reverb.com/item/34268186-1-4-7-5-ips-mrl-four-frequency-calibration-tape The four...

Anyone have experience changing cartridge on a Revox B795? Is mounting kit essential? Anyone know where I might get one? Have seen some posts saying that it's not as hard as some say. Any first-hand experience / advice appreciated!

Hi. I'd appreciate some advice regarding choosing one over the other. I'm going to audition the Altecs this weekend. I've read lots of great things about them here at AK and of course there's a great deal about the ARs all over also. I think both offers are on a high side but as condition...
