Re: Fidelity Playmaster/Braemar Tape Recorder
You may find that to obtain sufficient output to drive the computer the volume has to be turned up so high that the sound from the speaker is annoyingly loud. I have found this when driving an amplifier from the monitor socket on similar machines. Unfortunately it is not possible to obtain a stronger signal due to the position of the volume control in the tape recorder amplifier chain.
If this is the case then the easiest way around it is to mute the loudspeaker. To do this then you will need a long reach phono plug and a suitable resistor for the essential dummy load. These plugs are not so easy to come by now but there will be one on the supplied microphone (if available) that could be borrowed. Sometimes a direct recording lead was supplied, this should also have the necessary long plug.
