What we use to call "Instrumentation" recorders. I've changed many a 14 inch reals with 1" tape, that at time was recording at 120 ips. Thats 10 feet / 3 meters/second. A LOT spinning mass :-) You should see what happens when one comes off an unlocked hub at that speed.
The ones in the Ebay listing were what we called portable. Portable only because they had handles and did not take 3 feet of rack space like the Ampex and the 3 or 4 other makers. Not really the 'good' days, but a lot of fun. -pete Yes .. no longer gray hair, but silver hair On Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 4:12 PM, Chuck Guzis via cctalk < [email protected]> wrote: > On 10/13/2017 04:00 PM, Anders Nelson via cctalk wrote: > > Found on eBay: > > > > https://www.ebay.com/i/172896286711 > > > > Something out of the '50s?
