    STUDER A80 Bearings and where to buy them - HELP!

    Audio House? It must has cost a fortune! Yes, I'll have the cards restored and the PS caps changed. At least all caps gone and replaced with new ones. I'm even considering the Sepea option and that way I can switch eq and speed with just a flip of a button and jumpers. I don't use 30ips anymore...

    STUDER A80 Bearings and where to buy them - HELP!

    Thank you! As a matter of fact: this is my second one. I sold the original to a recording studio in New York because it was 1/2" tape and I didn't use it for Mastering anymore. This one is 1/4" tape and very nice. The other one was in pristine condition and we didn't have the need to change even...

    Ok folks, since you are talking about bearings for the A 80 and I just acquired one these days, which of the 30+ bearings are really imperative to change? The most necessary? Thank you!

    Phase compensation; STUDER A810

    Well, that's precisely what Wu is saying: no change whatsoever. On many occasions, some specific parts has to be changed due to new vendors, parts no longer available, abrupt price increases, etc. A 37, B 37 and B 30 were all tubed designs and the T 26, of course. That was the first one.

    Phase compensation; STUDER A810

    Yes. That information is on the photo footer. Also you can see the mechanics geniuses of Romagna and Fiala. Both next to Willi, left and right, and by that time both with many years working on Studer Revox. These 2 gentlemen were the designers of the A 77 mechanism as well.

    Phase compensation; STUDER A810

    Yes, you are right. The same happened when Guido Besimo designed the audio circuit for the A 77. It was later applied to the B 77 and PR 99 machines with minor revisions! Unfortunately, most of the revisions made were for reducing cost. It happened when they joint together both audio channel...

    The A 80 was not "portable" as yours. The "best" does not exist. It's highly subjective and depends on the listener's preference, you know. Those old Studers and Revoxes, like the G 36, are unique. They were ahead of its time. Some other people refers to the Studer machines as "the best...

    Yep.That's the fully transistorized professional recorder B62 successor of the A62, and innovation fort Studer in 1963. Not so "portable" as they were heavy as hell. Very nice condition and looks good! But no, thanks! I keep my most modern and lighter newer versions. Excellent decks, though...

    I need a Studer repair man in the Los Angeles-South Orage County area

    Probably the one you are talking about is Steve Smith. Former Service Engineer for Studer. I visited him once while working at Studer/Revox in Nashville. We developed a nice friendship. He then went to Harrison (audio consoles) and went back to Studer again before closing. Also a very nice guy...

    For Jonathan, Ed, Acoustic Sounds, etc: why not consider MDS-36 or LPR90

    That makes sense, Ed. I'm sponsored by RTM, so, I use it all. For my radio programs I prefer the 468. There's no need to overkill with the 911 or 900. I love the 911, though, but I have used a lot of LPR 35 and 90 too.
