Oh dear! This promises to be as quiet as a North Korean Christian Forum.

Number three: Studer A 810 with heads relapped by JRF magnetics. Uptdated firmware and CPU by Ki Choi.Salvaged on several occasions(including an onboard fire!) by Garth Moore. A Swiss Army Knife in recorders>

Foreground. Number 4:  Ampex 440C. From Tom on this forum. Formerly SABC then broadcaster Les Franklin. Some tech played Mr Franklin a horrible trick by wiring the heads out of phase so that one channel would cancel the other leaving vocals totally erased on playback. Rebuilt capstan motor and tweaked for optimum sound quality. Wonderful phat sounding classic Ampex.

Number five: Studer A67. Fitted with Nortronics pro heads and offboard Bottlehead tube repro audio electronics, Rebuilt in East London by a retired SABC tech. A real honey of a machine.
