Subject: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Jim Carroll Date: 21 Jun 09 - 06:29 AM I'm sure I've asked this in the past, but what information I got disappeared in a lightning strike. Does anybody know of a service engineer able to work on good quality tape recorders: Revox, Akai, Sony, Uher, Ferrograph? Republic of Ireland would be fantastic, the North, very acceptible, UK manageable. Any help would be extremely gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation. Jim Carroll |

Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Deckman Date: 21 Jun 09 - 11:01 AM YES ...I certainly do know a person. I'm in the usa ... do you still want the information? Bob(deckman)Nelson |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Jim Carroll Date: 21 Jun 09 - 12:59 PM Thanks Bob, The cost and problems of shipping would be horrendous - unless you can persuade him/her to take a holiday in the west of Ireland complete with toolbox. Thanks anyway Jim Carroll |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Deckman Date: 21 Jun 09 - 01:29 PM It's been my experience that these people are very hard to find. Good luck ... bob |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: iancarterb Date: 21 Jun 09 - 02:42 PM Bob/Deckman- Who is it? I'm looking for a preamp or two and a pinchroller for my 814 year old Teac 3340. Carter Bannerman on Bainbridge Island, presumably MUCH closer to your tapedeck guy than those big islands to the east! |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Darowyn Date: 21 Jun 09 - 02:55 PM Panic Music in Cambridge did some work on the old College machines a couple of years ago- before we sold them! The little German gentleman who used to be the fount of all knowledge locally has sadly retired. You might try asking on the Sound on Sound forum. There are some very well informed aficionados of analogue there. Cheers Dave |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: GUEST,bigJ Date: 21 Jun 09 - 03:57 PM Jim, Have a look here :- http://www.revox.freeuk.com/index.html. I had one of my two Revox A77s serviced a couple of years ago and was very satisfied. A bit pricy though. John |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: johnadams Date: 21 Jun 09 - 05:07 PM Jim, Another place to look is http://www.taperecorder.co.uk/ Nigel is based, inconveniently for you, in Ipswich but is in touch with the tape recorder world and will possibly be able to connect you with a colleague.

Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Richard Bridge Date: 21 Jun 09 - 05:09 PM There is a blke somewhere near Brighton - at the moment my memory is bereft of more. |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Deckman Date: 21 Jun 09 - 06:48 PM The man I know ONLY works with "reVox" machines. If you'll PM me, I'll give you the information. Again ... he ONLY works with "reVox." Bob(deckman)Nelson |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Ross Campbell Date: 21 Jun 09 - 07:10 PM Your original request here. |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: GUEST,iancarterb Date: 21 Jun 09 - 09:37 PM No ReVox here- thanks, Bob. |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Peace Date: 21 Jun 09 - 11:25 PM I have an Akai from 1980. Damned thing weighs about 70 pounds. |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Desert Dancer Date: 22 Jun 09 - 11:53 AM Probably not of use to anyone who has posted here yet, but for future reference, I've seen reel-to-reels at the repair center in MetroGnome Music, here in Tucson. Checking on the web, I find the Stereo Hospital, in MetroGnome Music ~ Becky in Tucson |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: treewind Date: 22 Jun 09 - 12:07 PM Another vote for Panic Music. They are very good - give them a call, and if they can't help you directly they might know someone who can. Also I was going to recommend Adrian Tuddenham who has a reputation for dealing with vintage audio gear - and found THIS which lists him and many other services - must be worth a look. I think he's a bit of a folkie too, so might be quite interested. Anahata |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: GUEST,watcher Date: 22 Jun 09 - 12:50 PM For Adrian Tuddenham, go to http://www.poppyrecords.co.uk but instead of them new-fangled tape machines look at his wax cylinder service !! |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: johnadams Date: 22 Jun 09 - 03:32 PM Adrian invited a lady to accompany him to the Old Swan Band dance in Bath last February - by recording his invitation on a wax cylinder and sending it to her. And she found a way to play it and accepted the invitation. There's old fashioned class! |
Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Jim Carroll Date: 24 Jun 09 - 06:22 AM Thanks for all the suggestions. Will chase them all up - had a couple of surprising responses so far. Jim Carroll |
