Ferrograph 100 YD
I recently brought this recorder
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MEWA:IT
I offered the guy a price which he accepted to end the auction early. The machine is a Ferrograph 100 YD machine from 1948! turns out its the first Ferrograph recorder manufactured. Although this is the same age or possibly older than a Sound Mirror the recorder was never launched on the domestic market as the MOD wouldn't allow it. The recorder was brought as none working and on a close inspection inside there are some parts missing. One of them is the obvious one, a large capacitor, the second not so obvious is a tape head connector. Does anyone have a Circuit diagram for one of these machines? possibly a original capacitor? the caps next to the missing one are 16mf @ 550V.
