There’s something more soulful about old limited tech with a nostalgic filter over modern recordings that are crisp and clear

Suuure buddy, at least I dont torture people there with subpar sound quality from some shitty hipster device. Nah man. I think that Richard spent so much time mixing and mastering his tracks that it's offensive to listen them on shitty devices just for sake of being "hip".

I have this song on vinyl so I looked into finding a working wire recorder. None that I found even work. Looks like you have something rare on your hands. I'm so glad you have it and decided to record Iz Us with it.

[@ramen6236]

Was iz us ever released on vinyl? I know that come to daddy was but it only had four tracks on it, none of wich were iz us

[@aphextriplet6850]

@@ramen6236 yes it was, on a promo 2 x LP. It was the final track of the second 12" in the set. It goes for about £200 🥲

[@laurensvisser7623]

There are enough skilled radio repairsmen out there. The electronics are easy to get working - all paper capacitors and electrolytics have to be swapped out one by one. The mechanics are a bit more specialized but often, you only need to clean and lubricate them.

[@duffman18]

Ask Techmoan if he knows where to find any. He's done videos on wire recorders before, he's bought quite a few of them.

[@msmltvcktl]

I have one that works 😭

[@batbirulau3470]

[@GrumpyTim]

That's so good, great choice of music track - those old wire recorders are really spooky machines - I have an old Agaphone wire recorder - I could do with getting some new wire reels because mine have been used and broken many times, and the wire tends to snag and break again and again when it gets to a previous repair.

[@TRH.KARASU]
