Thanks Ki and yours sounds like a nice setup....Congrats a well.Hi Roger,
Thanks for the C37 rack info. I had been using a Rubbermade rolling cart that fits almost perfect for C37 on the top section and a shelf underneath to place a PS Audio Power Re-generator P1000 with the Multiwave II option for going from 60Hz input AC power to 50Hz output power with me adding a 110V to 220V step up transformer inside the P1000 to feed my European C37 at 220VAC 50Hz. I can change the output frequencies in 1 Hz increment and it's been an excellent remedy for varispeed needs with some of the old tapes that were recorded with slight variance in speeds.
Congratulations on getting your US C37 finished.
The sound is really amazing
If you listen modern music the bass is no good like A80 and other less old and high is little roll off vs A80 and A816 and 820
but for jazz and classic music from mid bass to mid high the sound is magic,very natural,dynamic and impressive
The price for rack i don't remember but tomorrow i ask to Fabio Liberatore,owner of therecorderman,or you can send mail to him
Here is video I made stitching the small piece together.I over dubbed the music “Stairway to Heaven”. I currently feel that way, as I waited so long, it’s a gift from heaven.Coming home soon.Cleaned up very nice .
I forgot to mention the extremely low flutter...that’s why I supplied Dan with all aircraft spec ABEC 5 and 7 bearings. It does matter.I heard from Dan Zellman today regarding the playback on the C37 . His reply below .Nice to hear from a tech that knows these recorders.

Hi Roger,
I'm amazed at the lack of flutter products in this transport. It sounds pretty good so far.It's closer to real NAB EQ than any other C or J37 I've seen .
Still; a few adjustments to EQ values will get that.
There's a 2+ dbboost at 32 Hz a half db drop at 500, up a half at 2K to 8K, flat at 10KHz down a half at 20KHz.15 IPS.
The Bass boost is easiest to deal with. It will be clearer when I start the record trouble shooting.
Also It's nothappy with dis-similar reel sizes.
There is also Head positioning I have yet to deal with. Next.
Dan
