Default Re: Baird TR1 restoration begins.

In case you didn't know, that's a Collaro Transcriptor tape deck, probably a Mk4 (the one with the digital tape counter). Huge flywheel. Bi-directional. 2 motors doing the job of 3 - at the expense of extra jockey wheels and links.

The "extra" EL84 elevates (I guess) the electronics to a better class than single EL84 types.
Should be a rewarding restoration.
