[QUOTE="marcochezzi, post: 1022511, member: 21001"] Hello Tonband The time is very accurate, the only time you might ?lose? lose time is if the encoder wheel stops spinning because of bad bearings or air cushion between itself and the tape on FFRR or reel.. The trick is getting correct tape tension on the encoder wheel.. I have seen recently that there is a chap from Germany (??) who has designed a reel time counter for the b77 that does not rely on an encoder wheel for timing, it still uses the belt from the take up spindle, somehow he has worked out the software to make this thing keep time dependent on tape thickness which you preprogrammed, I think it is brilliant, but want to see it work.....
