An evening and digging out old family reels transfering from my Studer 807 to computer.
I found an old tape, my grandfather must have recorded from danish radio.I remember as a kid it was a beocord 1500 machine.
What blows me is the quality of the recording. the sound quality is absolutly fenonomal.Its recorded on 3,75 speed. there is no noise to hear,and the frequencrespons is stunning, its directly up in class what a Studer from the 90th would perform.How many of you here is actually using the Beocord 1/4" machines today for recording and playback
I would love love to hear your stories.Do the machines still run, or do they suffer from age ?Difficult to get belts and parts I asume ?
My re-capped M75 are my precious diamonds.
My little half track Beocord 1800 still runs happily at home with my parents, great little deck. The tapes I recorded on it sounds fabulous on my B77's.
Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.
I have this one, bought some 6 month ago from Seattle, now waiting in line for refurb, never connected it, and dont know what I´m getting into. But what I could see, without opening it, looks good and all switches and controls seams to work. The power supply cable is damaged, but I found one, that with a little fiddling, will fit.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Also in a line to refurb.
blah-blah and photographs as needed
