Default Re: Reel to reel tape recorder question.

I had a 1959 Truvox with plywood/formica deck together with the Truvox record/playback preamp. The deck had interchangeable capstan sleeves for ( I think ) 7.5 / 15 ips and a smaller one for ( again not sure ) 3.75 / 7.5 . the high speed sleeve was fine but the smaller one gave wow and flutter problems.

Eventually replaced it with a Brenell mk 5 complete tape recorder with is own record playback and loudspeaker units. This was an excellent machine and was in regular use for 20 years or so
