Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

pilot error :-P

So, one of youse guyses (was it Dave, or "Inmate51"?) sez... he sez... "is that tape twisted at the pinch roller?"

Yeah, it was :-P

I had transferred the two reels (threaded) from the ReVox to the Otari for a photo op... after over 45 years owing reel to reel tape recorders, I should really know better... I got a twist in it :-P

That's probably why one channel level was rather lower than the other, too.

What a maroon I is :-)

Coupla more photos -- I trimmed the output levels a bit, too, so the meter traces are reasonably well balanced. Reasonably.

Otari MX5050 010215 1

Otari MX5050 010215 2

Light was considerably poorer today up in the ol' loft...
all the best,
mrh
