RE: Wollensack tape recorders?

Posted by JonM on July 18, 2020 at 07:28:46:
I think that's right - I vaguely remember a Wollensack tape recorder in my parents' basement that had one - it was circular, if I remember right. If the two parts met, you were overloading the tape. My father's Pilot tuner had one that had sort of a vertical fan appearance, and you tuned to get the two sides as close together as possible.

Lots more information on Magic Eye tubes in the link below (posted in case someone else hasn't already linked to it - I haven't read all the replies).
