CUSTOM SPEED CONTROL MODIFICATION
These machines have a speed adjuster easily accessible from the bottom of the unit. This allows very fine adjustment of the speed.
Fine Bias Adjustment
Turning the knob CCW reduces the record bias resulting in a brighter sound. Turning the knob clockwise increases the bias, reducing distortion and high frequencies.
HEXALAM PERMALLOY 3 HEAD FULL MONITORING CONFIGURATION
The hard anti-wear surface, plus the laminated Hexalam low eddy current core, give high unsaturated recording levels coupled with low loss, long life performance. In addition, the Hexalam design, coupled with OFC (oxygen free copper) windings in the Record/Playback head, result in linear current flow and uniform magnetic flux in the gap for purest sonic quality.
MODIFIED TO RECORD ON TABS OUT CASSETTES
These machines record on tab out cassettes. Be careful not to erase valuable recordings.
CONDITION AND WARRANTY
The machines are well used but well maintained and should give many hours of solid performance. There is some head wear but the long life hard permalloy heads should still be good for years of normal home use. Each machine has been cleaned and inspected to confirm good operation, a new belt installed, and the speed has been calibrated. A 3 month repair or replacement warranty is included (transport costs not included).
