You might try sonosax.ch in Switzerland. I think they're in Lausanne, a fairly large city west of Montreux. If they don't have it, surely they can point you in the right direction. Also, there's a guy here on the forum who goes by "Stellavox". He'd probably have one and maybe just hasn't chimed in yet. Also, Morricab (usually on the speakers forum), is in Switzerland and might have a lead for you.I worked quite a lot with an SP7 in the early 70s. Superb construction and sonics! Although, a little quirky transport-wise.
Have you recently acquired an SP7?

Yes, a recent acquisition - bought mostly out of curiousity. It probably needs a little bit of sprucing up. I heard a gentleman using one of these at an audio show in New Jersey a bunch of years ago. He was spinning large reels with some sort of adapter. Sounded awesome to say the least. I just plan to bring it up to speed and get a taste of what it can do both for both recording and playback. Not too many owners around here I guess.
Here's the specs!
That's terrific - thanks. The deck has been quiet the past week or so as I await the pinch roller's return from Terry's Rollers.
Since I will probably never own the large reel adapter (where would I even buy one?), does anyone sell pre-recorded 2 track music on 5 inch reels? How about empty 5 inch reels?
Is the photo readable? The original is quite good, but I'm wondering if you're seeing the detail on the copy. I'm not.
Regarding 5" reels, see the 7" and 5" Tapes thread started by bwb. You have to recognize that the Sp7 was designed to do double duty as a field news/audio recorder (hence the 5" capacity with a dust cover), and as a high quality stereo music recorder (hence the 10.5" reel adapter gadget).
The only 5" reel I have is a live Schoenberg piece which I recorded on... a Stellavox Sp7.
:)
Yes, the sp7 came with a metal plate onto which the deck could be clipped into place, and then two round "rubber band" belts were used between the reel tables on the adapter plate and the reel tables on the deck to drive the reels. It looked kinda weird, but it worked well! I'd always use the adapter plate and 10.5" reels for recording concerts at 15 ips (with Schoeps microphones), and then use just the deck with 5" reels and battery power for field "sound gathering" for music compositions.I wonder where that deck is now - it was modified by Georges Quellet himself in Switzerland. I think I'm tearing up!
I might be able to dig up a spec sheet or two for you.
Edit: Have you Googled "Stellavox"? I just did, and boom, up comes photos and... stellavox.com. Have at it!
:)
