Something like that why not , portable would indeed be much more cost effective , my portable B 62 sounds better or at least as good as the A 80, my first aim would be portability not lightweight, nothing flimsy thats for sure only firstclass materials , portable would be great for making recordings yourself,and a noise free taperecorder please.
How does such a lyrec compare to the big studers by the way , overhere akai tape(playback ) recorders were the most common sold , although i never heard one , i am planning to vist a vintage restauration shop in the near future and hear all about those other brands ,

Does Lyrec PTR-1 "Frida" inspire another direction of thinking in R2R design? When you do away with heavy aluminum frame, portability become a reality! It could be an eye-catching machine which is fun to play, could be stylish too! When machine weights less, the manufacturing cost would be lower. Equipped with slim reel motors and capstan motor, editing capability like STUDER A820, what else can you complain in such a small footprint? I completely disassembled my Lyrec PTR-1 "Frida" once. It does not take too much effort to reassemble together. Putting A820 and "Frida" side by side is an interesting contrast?90kg v.s. 10kg, gigantic v.s. slim in size; go figuring cost for maintaining each. But "Frida" can still play 10.5" plus reels! (I like them both. They were witness of human endeavor worth preservation.)
