My Ampex "It's Alive!!!"

[Fast996]

I thought all you fellow tape heads would like to see the DVD my tech sent me today of my Ampex MR70. These decks are so rare,I just am so excited that this historic machine will play and record tape again soon.

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful machine! Sounds like you have a great tech there who really cares about his work too. She should be good for another 40 years.

I used to have an AG-350 and man they are practically indestructible. Love that Crown too - you've got some of the best machines out there!

Thanks, the deck is certainly capable of going another 40 years. You can hear those telephone relays operate,the machine is the ultimate "beast".

I was lucky to find the gentleman to do this restoration. He lives for the Ampex MR70.
