Default Re: Brenell STB-1 Restoration & Help Needed

Dad had a staggered stereo which had been modified with two stacked R/P heads, with Brenell labels on - this so that the previous owner could monitor off-tape in mono or record in stereo without this facility. I played around with this machine n years ago and found it OK apart from the lack of synchronisation between the oscillators of the two amplifiers, which caused spurious tones to be recorded. Never got around to fixing that - a condensor linking the two oscillators would probably have sorted it out - and the machine has long since gone the way of all flesh.
