    Source of tape other than tape project

    Roger, The music you posted I think is from JEAN MICHAEL JAREE - CHINA or VANGELIS but I could be wrong. Amir, I do most of my recodings from MP3 files, reel to reel connected to my computer via sound card. I prefer on the tape so when I have a party or at home I listen to my...

    Spring Scales Set

    Hi everyone, I've been looking everywhere for a spring scale set in order to properly adjust breaks and tape tension on my reel to reels as manuals indicate. I found ARBOR SCIENTIFIC which sales a set of spring scales for only USD $35.00. Freight to me was more expensive than the scales (USD...

    Realignment of STUDER A810 after battery replacement

    I put the MP board back in and error message disapeared. Another quick question Tony, after power on number displayd before 000000 counter is the number of hours on the machine? Mine displays 188. Does that mean this machine has only 188 hours of work? Woooow, these calibration tapes are not...

    Realignment of STUDER A810 after battery replacement

    Hi everyone Hi people, After reading a series of postings on STUDER yahoo group I checked the battery on my MP board. Battery was down to 0.6V and ready to "pop" (very green around). Also I was getting EEE01 error message. I replaced it with one from e-bay. Does anyone have a clear...

    Sanken s-60w

    Hi Amir, I just wanted to do a follow up on your instructions. All worked perfect for me. The only comment is that pin 8 is not connected anywhere. Took me a little bit longer as I revised with the occasion the 2 amplifier boards. I replaced all the stiff wires and all "pig tail" connections...

    Thank you Amir. You gave me some valuble information. I follow your procedure when I get home.

Some butcher worked in it and...

    REVOX A-700 Rebuild by ISR-EV Germany

    Hi Myles, I used one of my MAXWELL UD-XL I and recorded on this machine. I use as source CD's and records (LP's). I love to mix the songs in my own way. All came out very good. Hard to compare with the recordings I've done in the past with my C-270. Maybe someone can suggest a method to...

    REVOX A-700 Rebuild by ISR-EV Germany

    Hi REEL to REEL lovers, I mentioned a few times about my story on a REVOX A-700 rebuild by ISR-EV. I met Peter Anaker and ISR-EV on my visit in Germany last summer (that includes Andy the baker, which can "cook" some nice REVOXEs not only bread) You can check their web site...

    Sanken s-60w

    Thanks Amir, I love how you thinking. The amp still works. Left works front, right works only rear. When you switch to 2 channels only tries to double power so nothing works. When I bought the amp had 3 IC's in but I think one is dead. I can do a few thinks but I thought the nicest will be to...

    Sanken s-60w

    Amir is right. I called them and told me that S-60W is discontinued. I followed the link from microstrip and looks like active parts have something. Wonder what the difference is between S-60W and S-60WS???? It costs just a bit over USD$25.00 which is pretty acceptable considering that I was...

    Looking for SANKEN S-60W IC

    Amir, Much appreciated your answer. They quoted me USD$200.00 ea plus freight. I bought the amplifier for AUD$50.00. Would I invest that much in a 1970 amplifier? I am still looking. I saw S-60W sold on e-bay under USD$25.00 I wonder why megausa would charge that much???? Eugen
