AkaiUher Says:

Nov 25, 2007 - I switched the monitor switch from source "input" to tape "IEC". Later (at 00:59 to 01:00) I switched back to "input".The A77 offers two equalizations to hear the signal over tape:When you turn the switch from "input" to right, the signal gets IEC equalized, to left it gets NAB equalized.

Dec 10, 2007 - when did these types of recorders come out?Andy Bowe

AkaiUher Says:

Dec 10, 2007 - The Revox A77 was available from 1967 to 1977. During this period a few changes where made, so there are four variants available (Mk1 - Mk4).This is a Mk4 from 1974. The follower model, the B77 was available from 1977 to the beginning of the 90s (~1992/'93).

Feb 16, 2008 - hi!please, could you tell me the name of this song?and btw, i have a "portable" reel to reel recorder (cheap, only 1 speed, mono, only 5" reels), but the head is dead. is there some way of getting it to life? where could i buy a new head?

AkaiUher Says:

Feb 17, 2008 - The song is "Laerning To Fly" from Pink Floyd oft the 1987 Album "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason".Are you sure that the head has a defect? And what's the typename of the recorder?

Oct 3, 2008 - Had A revox Unit Similar to this one back in 1984. Got it for nothing As it was in rough shape. Worked for about 4 months before melting down compleatly. Replaced it with my akai gx 4000dx witch still works well to this day, although 7" reels only.
