Default Re: Brenell STB-1 Restoration & Help Needed

Thanks Ted I have a Brenell which was originally fitted with Miniflux (stereo heads - gold plate top if I remember - which is in line with adverts I have seen for the heads circa early 1960s) heads never new that they were Woelke.

Did Woelke not make the heads for the Revox G36 and Studer machines?

Yes agreed the 1/2 track stereo format was used more in the professional sphere than the domestic and of course tape was expensive as were tape machines compared to income and it gave you more running time for the tape used.

Plus 1/4 track stereo was a natural progression from 1/2 track mono, in that you flipped the tape.

Yes of Course it was JRF, I had forgotten who it was, will contact them as well.
