I m not so sure of thatHowever, I would not base that external box on old Studer circuitry... today we know how to make things better.

I am yet to meet one DIYer, whose contraption did not slaughter (in his mind, of course...) all the giants.I´ve been through all types of speakers through 50 years and found my peace with this DIY system that replaced Avantgarde Trio´s

A beast of machine like a old vw beetle runs forever.I have the Ampex 350 that I love for its nostalgic value, and when connected to my head preamp it produces wonderful sound, but it is a playback deck only, and there are many attributes in it that make it fall short of modern standards. Its drive mechanism is primitive next to the more advanced machines. I added a simple electronic tape counter to mine - not having a counter is one of the first things you notice lacking. The second is manual tape lifters. it still does amazingly well for such an old machine (mine has the 1958 date written inside, whether true or not), and it is still running on its antique-looking original motor capacitors. The wire insulation crumbled in spots, but the darn beast keeps moving its tape!
