I had one of those wire recorders

Well done. I worked for Otari for many years in several capacities so I am well familiar with their equipment. I was just cruising around YT and stumbled on your video. Your video will not be of interest to most folks, but for me it was very enjoyable as a trip down memory lane. It triggered thoughts of the people and events that were behind what you see in the studio, I enjoyed my time with Otari and the team that worked there so belated thanks for posting!

A great machine

Cool reel to reel, but it only has a top of 3K freq. Uses FM for recorder on 3 tracks. One track for mono voice, etc. Pretty cool though.

Excellent editing

I have the identical unit. But the right side reel turns in the wrong direction. Any thoughts? Just inherited this unit and trying to figure it out. Thank you.

Stupid and lame video! Publish the entire video!!

Is there a tape counter?

Nice to see so many models in one place. I have a Roberts 990 and just love it. Excellent tube tone.

I saw Selena & Los Dinos’ preform at a Bushs’ Menudo cook off and Selena was amazing 🤩 🌹⭐️

I like their CX-844 w/ trac-syncs

Every single interview Rupert did, he made sure to credit his staff whenever he got the chance. That’s proof of an amazing company. Super proud to own a 5088.

Beautiful equipment ! What an awesome history! I own a mx5050 and a mtr-12 , I’m looking for a electronics tech to upgrade the caps etc. in my mtr-12. Can someone give me a name to contact for this type of work?

Great pianist and Asleep at the wheel is one of my all time favorite bands.

Would really like some more info on the Roberts 333X if possible. I'm looking at a nice unit to purchase. I can't find any information on the internals or motor type and specs. Thank you in advance. I liked and subscribed. Keep up the great work.

Wait... so this thing basically has a builtin mini-oscilloscope for a VU meter? I'm looking at one right now, a bit expensive just to tinker on but that feature would make it almost worth it..!

Martin, I am very thankful for everything you've done to preserve what's left of history. You really deserve more views. I have had a pleasure of owning a few TEAC/TASCAM decks over the years, and your channel and your videos really helped me understand them more. Thank you again!

You missed one, the Roberts 771x (and I own it!)

I also have a 700, but when on fast rewind and then pressed stop, tape goes all over the place.

Ugh… that idiotic keyboard player and that ridiculous synth solo on ‘Dirty Water’.

Hi Martin, I just bought a Tascam 80-8 and am picking it up tomorrow! I am excited about that. I have two other TEAC decks. a 6010 and a 3300. Not enough for what I like to do. Never thought I could find a deal like I did. $500 for a barely used 80-8! I have to drive down an hour and a half tomorrow.... Let's see how it flies when I get there. You put on a nice video here. I am up in The Poconos of PA. My home studio is 16 Track and I have bands come in to rehearse and record. Should be interesting when these guys see the new equipment. Jan 2024

I was really excited to watch this but the weird cuts at important info sections drove me nuts. I had stop watching unfortunately. That being said, what a great collection and I’d love to see the full videos on here someday.

I have one Roberts 770X since 1968! What a wonderful machine!

Do other videos of James Courts exist?

Amazing audio machine.

replace also the rifa smokebombs

Yes beautiful machines I have the MX5050BQII 4 tracks the same one show 👍

I knew someone who had a 770X. I am Pretty Sure it did Not make much, if any, sound during fast wind. My own Akai machines are an X-330D and a GX-280D.

Thanks for sharing this. I was there during the recording of this.

Great memories. Thanks for posting.

Yes TEAC is a serious company and you should pay a little more respect then to jack up your video with cheesy page turns and constant flipping. Did you just get baby's first video editing software? I'm sorry but you have ruined all the great information you were trying to impart with ridiculous transitions that make no sense whatsoever. Idiotic audio fades that cut off every last word and phrase just to make sure you have ball-preened the information. Please unplug your computer until you have come to your senses and can actually show us the incredible history of TEAC. Thanks and have a nice day.

And I thought I was the Teac Tascam nut , downloaded the video, will look later good on you guys Tascam Ninja

Sir I have Sony spoor tape recorder My father purchage in 60 And my grand papa Have Phillip steel reel Anteek spool recorder So good things ihave

Niice interview with the one!

Спасибо вам за такой обширный обзор магнитофонов , которых мы и в детстве не видели не говоря о настоящем времени. Благодарность вам за это всё , что не утратилось , но и в рабочем состоянии. Это превыше всех похвал.

Beautiful machines! I have the Mini Pro MX5050 and the MKiii-8. Nice music too! Thanks for the demo and information

I had a studio for 16 years using a PT6 as my mastering deck. Great wondrous days. Never forgotten. We did everything from radio ads to narrations for AV to music for radio ads. :) I still have some PT6s in my work room for nostalgia.

She does sound like she had a cold but she was so professional ❤️❤️❤️

History! Thank you for this. Please fix the audio while you can. This needs to be preserved.

I noticed that you have a Technics RS 1500 US. I was so impressed by this machine (1/2trk) so I bought another one. Used onw as the principle recorder in the field and the second for editing. Somethimes, I had to use both machines on a job that required more time than one unit could handle. Best recorders I ever had. The top end was amazing. I wanted a Crown but couldn't afford it.

I have a mint 80! They are my favorite recorders! Great tape! Love the live Willie! Sounds great! I love that rack console for it! What model rack is that?

I love hot-air balloons! Hot-air balloons are my favorite aircraft! They are so beautiful!

Im a newbie to R2R, but i decided to pick up a used one and i got a working Roberts (Rheem) 1725-8L (3) . Worked for a short time until the cams for the play/record broke into pieces. So i have a good used set of cams on order. I have no idea what year this model came out but it seems to be visually the same as a Akai 1800L going by pictures ive seen online. The one problem i see now is getting the belts for it as two sights i use for belts seem to list wrong belts., so i guess alot of wrong info out there on these units by now. For example, my Roberts unit seems to look identical to a Akai 1800L , but when i look up capstan belts online i get 2 different lengths?... So any info that anyone can give me on mine would be helpful
