21 Jun 09 - 06:29 AM (#2661359) Subject: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: Jim Carroll 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 |

21 Jun 09 - 02:42 PM (#2661589) Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: iancarterb 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! |

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 |

Checking on the web, I find the Stereo Hospital, in MetroGnome Music ~ Becky in Tucson |

22 Jun 09 - 12:07 PM (#2662152) Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: treewind 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 |

22 Jun 09 - 03:32 PM (#2662280) Subject: RE: Reel-to-reel tape recorders From: johnadams 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! |
