Hi
I have inherited a Tandberg 4041X reel to reel tape recorder from my late father. Is there a value to this item please? And would anyone be able to advise me where it may be appropriate to advertise? I'd prefer not to bother with ebay as I'd rather it go to someone who would be a collector or at least interested in looking after this item, as it's in very good condition. I would be grateful for any suggestions, as I can see from the threads on here that many of you have great knowledge of these type of products. Happy to receive info either a replies or PMs.

Thanks susir

I cant really place a value on this but it will almost certainly need new clutches and belts.

Nice machines though

These are nice mid range stereo recorders, This one has only one motor but three heads if I recall. As said, it will need a new rubber drive belt (easy to find) and probably a rubber idler and/or pinch roller (harder) and probably a partial strip down and relubrication of the linkages.
I would offer it here in the sets and parts offered section. As to price/value, bear in mind this is unrestored, take a look on ebay to see what comparable units have sold for. Hope that helps!
