Does your tape player play audio too fast or too slow? It can be the belt needing a replacement but most players will have a potentiometer on their electronics board that can be used to adjust the speed of the motor. Like i did here on this video :blob_owo:

I just got these two beautiful tape players imported from Japanese flea market :blob_cat_aww: Both need belt replacements of course, however i begin to understand why panasonic players turned out to be the sturdiest. The designs are very compact and straightforward.

Pictured inside is the rq-sx55 model, after receiving new belts. These were not perfect fit but at least i confirmed that it does still play audio! :blob_cat_melt_love:

Okay this is rather embarrassing interior i must say. I was having issues with it the moment i bought it and decided to have a look inside. Label reads Sony TC-FX120. I ended up selling it, because i couldn't get it to work properly.

If there's one band that rocks your socks off then it must be Veruca Salt. Found an old tape of Eight Arms To Hold You and Volcano Girls is on really loud now. What... an.... incredible... song. That reference to Seether, love it. They did it again on Ghost Notes.

Volcano Girls has so much energy and Nina and Louise's harmonies, it just rocks.

I checked the azimuth with the same 16kHz signal and the oscilloscope and the phases are rock solid with the fixed roller rather the ball bearing in the left tape guide. That is a clear win for the factory configuration. #RevoxB77 #AnalogAudio #MagneticRecording #ReelToReel #HiFi #Tape

Hi to all, I updated the page about the #RevoxB77 mk II on my home site. I studyed the effect of the popular mod that consists in replacing the original fixed roller on the right tape guide with a ball bearing. The results seem marginally better with the original factory configuration, though.

I used my reel to reel recorder as a tape delay in Soupçons, you can hear it in the drum machine track at the very beginning (further processed via a bandpass filter driven almost to self oscillate and a chorus). I created a tape loop that was quite flimsy and the imperfections added a lot to the character 😍#ReelToReel #MusicProduction #AnalogAudio #RevoxB77

If you are curious to listen to the difference, here is Réminescence bounced back from the #ReelToReel recorder. It is a mp3, unfortunately, but you can compare with a previous toot, that included the digitally produced file. #Music #AnalogAudio #RevoxB77 #MastoArt #MastoMusic With the #dbx type I noise reduction active, the dynamic range approaches the 90dB 😳

And since I like a lot to have some physical medium in my hands when I finish the production of a new piece of #music, I transferred Réminescence on tape au 15 ips with dbx type I. I had to install a new reel on a #LPR90 pancake 🧐 I like working with the recorder for a final bounce, even if most of my production chain is digital. #ReelToReel #RevoxB77 #AnalogAudio

Look at these fucking hipster nerds (complimentary).

I intend to gift some of my friends the walkman cassette players, since i already gifted them some tapes. I managed to find a pack of three players from the 90s for 25€. All need new belts and two of them had completely trusted battery pins. However after putting new pins, all of them work (at last the radio does). The sound is clear and the lcd displays work as well. Now i need to get those replacement belts 🥰
