That is a thing of beauty. Wonderful German precision craftsmanship, and a very important historical item indeed!!

日本からです。現在でも稼動可能なToneschreiberを動画とはいえ拝見できて感激しております。音質も驚くほどよく、当時のドイツの技術力の高さがうかがえます。動画本当にありがとうございます。

Surprisingly good sound quality for an 80 y.o. recorder! Thanks for sharing!

capstan motor controlled by a servo system. amazing. i did not know that servo systems were invented that long time ago.

I like how this old tech was built with such durability that it works so many years later where as a lot of modern tech barely lasts past warranty date

I consider this model to be one of the most important tape players in history.

What a wonderful machine! It's fantastic to see it work. Great engineering. Thanks for posting!

Fascinating piece of history!

WOW!!! This is the first time i see this recorder in action! And it is incredibly wonderful! Thank You for the video.

Thank you very much for the fantastic demonstration of this very interesting tape recorder. Excellent job that you repaired this machine and the sound is very good for it's time.

Very impressive sound quality

Fantastic to see this up and running, inspires me to have another go at mine, have you tried the rotating magnetic head system yet? I believe it was designed to work with high speed mores code. The S.B.1 is very old but not the first, the first practical machine was the AEG Magnetophon K1 in 1935 thought the S.B.1(From 1939 - 1944) was the one used as a blueprint by first Ampex in the US with the 200 and then shortly after the British with the EMI BTR-1

Oh! These are just the tip of the ice berg. The tip of Deutsch tecnology-prowess.

Very cool

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing it with us. As a hobbyist and radio journalist, I spent countless hours over several decades sitting in front of tape machines, often hunched over in an awkward position to mark the tape with a grease pencil, razor blade at the ready, for editing. I love the idea of having the heads facing upward, which would make the task that much more comfortable. (The downside, of course, is that complex path.) The (relatively) modern quarter-inch tape seems to work fine. Anyone know why the Germans, who would have measured their tape i millimeters, ended up with tape slit to a 0.25-inch width?

Great video and fantastic to see that this historic machine works again !!!

Great job, your work is always amazing!!!

Great video and thanks for sharing. It’s amazing how huge and complicated it is .

Great video, thanks for posting!

Well done, quite brilliant.

Very interesting machine !

Wonderful, so majestic. Those reels look scary when running at full speed. I guess in WW2 people had more things to worry about than being hit by a flying reel.

Absolutely fantastic demonstration!!

I want to hear some modern music from this guy

the tape speedometer is a very interesting feature of this tape recorder.

it looks and sounds absolutely wonderful

Wat an interesting machine. Good sound reproduction, Great you got it going.

Very interesting.. thanks for the great video!

Thats not a recording a BBC News. That is Becky Anderson from CNN International.

Maravilhosa está apresentação lindo equipamento. PU2KMM MONTEIRO CACAPAVA-SP BRASIL.

Very nice video, hope you keep up the good work.

Best video!

My dream to own one of these one day, such a beautiful vintage machine :D

Congratulations for that very fine machine !

Haha. You have patience. My compliments for the new machine. The sound is very "rich". Tecnology for sure have changed a lot since then. Who knows what kind of russian transmittions this machine have recorded!!

Hello, I am in the process of acquiring one of these machines. I am waiting for it to arrive. I am looking for parts if anyone has any?

This buzzing is proppably caused by issue in power supply filter

Chancellor A. Merkels powerful speech would sound amazing when recorded with that magnetophon.

Mycket intressant test. Hur skulle det vara att lägga på en meter "leader-tape" i början och slutet av bandet? H. Stig Österberg, från Dalsbruk, Finland

Thats not BBC News. Thats Becky Anderson from CNN International.

Such a strange pattern of holes in the reels

Please keep it well. This is one of the oldest Tape Recorder I have ever seen.

Excellent

Interesting that head configuration demands oxide out wind.

Does it have a tape counter?

6:35 for a nice reaction.

Not bad good high class engineering but not as good as the chaps at Bletchley park (what thay can knock up) ❤

I Would like to Build of These reels too. Can u give me the exact diameter of it?

Why is speed stabilisation so complicated?

Oh, so the head is underneath the tape?

Achtung! 🙂

Fritz Pfleumer made stuff to last...

Are you interested to sell it? Would be interested :) ...maybe it can be?, thats why im quest you ;) ...thanks and looking forward to youre answer ;) its also okay if you keep it!, my tapefriend ;) ...thanks for sharing

Interesting. Nice to se things like that in working condition. But, shyster from Hordaland (with inferiority complex and all) at 10:40. So video is unwatchable from then on.

oauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
