Contemplating Reel to Reel

Looks great and should give you many hours of pleasure! I'd keep that variac away from my tapes though! Those variacs really can put out a magnetic field.

I wondered what that thing was. What does it do?

John, a variac adjusts voltage level from zero to 100 pct.

I use mine to slow the fast wind speed on my Ampex when using 2 track tapes. I have had no problems concerning tapes,of cource I keep them clear of the variac.
 
Wonderful looking RTR Rich! Congrats and please keep us posted on how it functions and sounds.
 
Let THE GAMES Begin!

Very cool, Rich :cool:
