Re: Marconiphone Reel to Reel 4218
Hi, from the look of a picture I found on the internet the Marconiphone 4218 is a four - track 3 speed stereo machine.
If it's the same as the Ferguson variant that passed my way some time ago the machine will have two rectangular buttons marked 1-4 and 2-3 for individual mono track recording, or stereo recording when both buttons are depressed.
An unusual feature of this machine is that there are two separate transport buttons for playback, one for track 1-4 and the other for track 2-3; if the OP is depressing both buttons when playing back a two - track tape on this machine both tracks will be heard but side two of the tape will play backwards.
Hope this helps
Andrew
