1988, i had an Ovation acoustic guitar that I had bought but after about a week or two, I hated it because it would keep sliding off my leg. So another musician I knew wanted it so he traded me his fostex X-26 and i was now able to recording my own shit, bounce tracks, etc.. I loved that thing

Apart from the cassette tray and the capstan motor, there is actually another motor in there, so does that have a belt too? 🤔

Thanks Philip great video

2:16 There's some kind of "digital B note" playing in the background before the music. Is this how it should be?

Круто!👍

Sorry I commented before watching all this… it sounds logical if only you could buy them new. I have 10.5 reels

Why not just connect something to the machine switch that unit off set levels to 0 and record a dead signal into the tape. On play back you will hear nothing

Very informative! This machine can do a lot of things that I never imagined it could. Thanks, Philip!

Thanks for an enlightening video. I’m looking to buy my first Studer after owning Revox B77 HS, A77 and a G36 HS. How do you rank your Studers for sound quality?

Can you record on this machine? I found one cheap and got it. but the manual says I have to press 'ready' to record which is only on the VU versions. could you help? Thanks

Very effective

Nice work! I love these machines! 😎👍❤️

vauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

What are the hub adapters? They look different than nab

What is the style of those reels? What are they called and where do you get them

Hello Sir, I wanted to thank you for your work of archival on your website which helped me to find documentation on a calibration tape I found which is the AGFA Bezugsband 9,5 DIN 45513. I didn't have any papers in the box as you did! I was really surprised to see someone having this old of a tape with the exact same sitckers I have too :) I was wondering wether I could use this today as I don't have any 3.5ips calibration tape but I have no idea what the reference magnetic flux is nor the equalization but I assume this would be IEC (CCIR) since it was made in germany? Cheers from France, Martin

I like your choice in music!

Such a gorgeous machine! I don't know that I'll ever be fortunate enough to own one. Before I leave this earth, I need to visit someone somewhere who has one. Somewhere in the eastern half of the United States would be best for me. On the other hand, I also want to visit continental Europe so that I can see the Alfa Romeo museum, and possibly the BMW and/or Porsche museums. So if that trip ever happens, I will include a visit to Walter Stutz's waVox museum. And/or north to The Netherlands to see your collection, Philip! 😎👍❤️

Excellent tutorial.

You have all the required tools to do the job properly, nice!

I am having a problem with the brakes not engaging, i have replaced the pads with cork and i removed the bellows and turned around the rubber orifices about a year ago and it has started doing what described above. Fo i need to do the bellows job again? Has anyone has had this problem before? And how did you resolve it? Thank you

Very interesting and informative video. 👍

shift-play was new to me. I knew my C274 could go backwards, but not the 807.

hi done work to a tascam 38 the deck was not working main pcb was to far gone so i jazzed the deck up so it would play again and i put alot of new things on the deck the speed thing you have high low tenson in the rew ff and a tape spool mode on a tascam 38 it's a player only now i have alot of them i jazz the eq an copy the kind of set up on the 34 many more speeds as i am a tec best way to use the decks

810, 807, C274, PR99s & a ton of revox stuff here. I want to thank you for the FTP mirror- great job. I use it a lot.

nice demonstration. You may want to power up the eraser a bit further away from the tape and make your revolutions around the reel a bit slower. One side of erasing should do the whole tape, no reason to flip tape over to do the other side unless you have 1 inch or 2 inch tape.

We saved the ftp Studer mirror. Thank you!

Just listened through my Akai HX-A3X cassette deck that has a disc decode function..

hi re cap can be a right pain i got a brenell mini 8 of ebay hell it need alot of work and re made the power unit 1/2 the size now i only buy decks i know well there's alot of decks out there in need of part my mate run's a tape deck parts web site he said he's got alot waiting for parts

hi very like the otari mtr 12 i have my one takes the 1/2 tapes stereo each side 4 track like the teac 70 decks don't have one

They're tools to produce audio content for money, but if just for trophies - that's a very costly perversion that has NO ROI as they stand in your possession.

I want to own such a machine!

Great work Philip

I was an audio engineer in a studio that had 4 Studer A-810's. Mono and stereo. WONDERFUL machines, and work horses as well. Enjoy!

Nice Studers. I have A62, B62 (waiting for restoration) A67, B67, A80 VU 2ch, A80 VU 8ch, A80 RC MK2, A810 with timecode and neopilot, A812, A807 mk1, A807mk2 and A807mk2 mono.

hello :)

I can’t find a procedure for replacing the Studer A80 pinch roller anywhere! how to replace? Help me to understand!

❤

Ignore the manual, you have to calibrate 363 with the help of oscilloscope, that would help with not only the intensity of playback and recording green lights in the front, but also the actual numbers of input and output of the unit. What you are doing is NOT correct.

Hello mr Philip, please answer my question about this : If I make a mistake when recording, do I have to record everything again or is there a function to record only the part that made the mistake?

the equipment should please the eye, ear, touch and smell. When I was younger, I also believed in instruments, now hearing is important to me because tape recorders are used for listening. the recipient is ultimately a person, not a device. I once had an A80 and master tapes from which vinyl records were pressed. Now I'm 52 years old and like most people I can no longer hear 16 kHz even at a level of +20 dB ;-)

Hi there is a Studer b 67 near me for sell the unit look pretty dirty and the seller asking $4500 for it, is this price ok to buy or what should it be? Thank you

Do these use motor braking or bands ?

Cheers from waVox vintage sounds 😊

Hello Philip I have a problem with my A80RC. After a minute, two, sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes a few seconds, it exits the recording. (REC lamp lights up) . Stops deleting and recording. Everything else works perfectly. any ideas?

omg, is that a Fiio DAC on the right side next to the headphones (which seems Beyerdynamic) ?

06:19 you mention a "dutch tape deck forum". Could you please tell us what that forum is? Thank you. Also awesome machines!

When i push tape play, the all head and pinchroller do not move up. Can you tell me whats problem? How can i fix it?
