- Verzameling van meer dan 20 bandrecorders en tapedecks: PHILIPS N4504, N4506, N4502, N4511, N4414, N4420, N7150, ARISTONA EW5515, AKAI 4000DS, GX-210D, GX-4400D, TELEFUNKEN magnetophon 2000 hifi, magnetophon 3000 hifi, UHER VARIOCORD 263 stereo, SANSUI SD-5000, TEAC A-1200, GRUNDIG TK545. De meeste zijn volledig werkend, een aantal met wat kleine mankementen en een aantal defect of voor onderdelen. De samenstelling van deze verzameling wisselt voortdurend. Ik koop en verkoop regelmatig vintage apparatuur via marktplaats. Muziek in deze video van: Godley & Creme - Cry.
Wow! That some impressive machinery. I just bought a Phillips reel to reel, my first in 40 years since mine died when I was 17. I had it when I was 8 so I sought of grew up with it. At first I argued with myself over being nostalgic and how I couldnt justify buying another one. You know what? Im glad I didnt listen to myself. It was like having an old friend back and after I played about recording stuff I realized.....there is nothing like listening to music off a reel to reel. Looking at some of those machines I bet they sound fantastic. I would be locked in that room for weeks trying them all out. Many thanks for posting. An impressive collection.
Recapturing elements of my youth, collecting vinyl/LP’s again, rebuilt a 50 year old Thorens TD125 MkII turntable, found a “deal” on a broken Revox A77 Mk3 I rebuilt, recapped, and, in a curious twist, recorded an original issue LP of Fripp and Eno’s “No Pussyfooting” onto modern high-density 2-track audio near-perfection. One of my long-time favorites, the LP was recorded in their studio (as was much of KC’s and Fripp’s and other performers’ music) onto what may have been this exact same model deck. What amazes me is the depth, overall tone, presence “sound stage” of the tape vs LP, especially when compared with digital recordings (which I’ve relied on since my first CD player in 1985). Even with the tinnitus, there’s just no comparison. I now have another A77 (4-track), and am reworking two B77 RtR’s, a 2-track HS and a 4-track NS. Will likely sell the A77 models, buy more tape medium to transfer more of my LP’s. I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with your collection, and the music selection was perfect for the video. Thanks for sharing.
I too am a reel to real collector but I've got nothing compared to your collection. Congratulations it is simply extraordinary
Красота мечта когда то давно хотел хоть что-то из этого ,,волшебства,,!!!!
Incredible collection , so happy to see so many beautiful units in one place ! Analog forever !
Wow! Couldn't ever imagine such a large collection of reel to reel tape recorders in brand new condition. That's so cool!
A big 👍, congratulations and best wishes from an ardent admirer of tape recorders and tum tables from India!
"Old is gold" 👌🌹👌🙏
Wonderful collection.i have a few from my school days .all Akai's 70's vintage.
Not a pro grade unit but recently acquired GX-280D was a really nice addition to the system
Nice!!!! I have 6 decks, 3 are pro units I bought for my studio in the 80’s and I still use them in my studio today. It’s a great marriage with my digital workstations and it gives me the edge over other studios that don’t have them. My clients can hear the sweetness they bring!!!!!
What a fantastic setup you have. I'm green with envy of course! I've owned a 1964 mini reel for a bicycle, 1972 Sony 630, a mid 50's Phillips mono player and a 40's wire recorder that actually worked with dozens of old commercials from a radio station. Mine was for more practical reasons, but you are one serious collector!
Stupendous...that for sharing your collection with us!
Can't wait to see your tea spoon collection!!!!!
What do you mean
It is just amazing just how many different manufacturers and models of open reel tape decks were on the market for 50 + years. I remember the old Roberts tape reorders/decks/ Knight Kit tape deck, never had one but remember one in a used stereo store in the early 70's.
A very nice collection I have just dug my 1970's Philips N4418 out of the attic & fitted new belts now up and running again I had forgotten how great a machine it was, great sound from the built in speakers.
I love these recorders . I own Akai 265 GX , Akai 1722w and Philips 4407 . Lovely feeling when listening to them playing !
Gaaf man! Wat een prachtige machines. Hou ze in ere! Heb aan een aantal hiervan goeie herinneringen.
Totally incredible. I have six reel to reels, Akai, Phillips, Grundig. Also a couple of radio sized battery models.
The phillips can be prone to belt rot over the years.
I have always adored this format, and got my hands on my first at the tender age of 11.
As I grew up I never liked cassette, and I stuck with these as my recording format right up to the minidisc era of the late 90s, where i believed the recording quality finally superseeded it.
I never parted with any of mine, and the y all still work.
Awesome.
Very smooth and professional video production. Kudos!
Cool collection!!! I was hoping to see a Crown. I used to work in the Crown International factory, after they discontinued the reel to reels... I used 2 of them when I worked at World harvest radio, South Bend, In. Over 20 years ago... ah memories!!
I had a crown Cassette player which looked like a attache case... wish I still had that one
@@bones007able That was a different Crown.
Wow! That is an awesome collection
Great collection! Amazing! Personally, I've got a Tandberg 9000X bought in 1976.
SANSUI SD-5000 looks like amazing
best sounding audio format on 7.5 inch tape speed and 2 track.
nice warm bass and crystal clear heights, and great dynamics, too.
Simply put extraordinary!!!
impressive collection. Thanks for posting.
WUNDERBAR !!!! That is really .... SOMETHING amazing !!!!
From all of them, my eyes were focused on the model *SANSUI SD-5K* & on the *Philips N7150* !!
I am a big fan of reel-to-reel tape decks. I have an Akai 646 in mint condition. I’ll never part with it. Your collection is very impressive.
I used to dream of owning an Akai 4000D or 1721L In the 70s but never could afford it but did eventually get a Vortexian CBL6 Stereo high speed that still works fine at 55 or so years old . Impressive selection here on this video.
yes I gotta hand it to u mate,, we love Oldskool Analogue!!!!
I am especially drawn to have love affairs with valve amplifiers too..
some dont understand Audiophiles!!
sometimes bankruptcy has never sounded so good..
some dont understand sound quality isnt played at full blast..
or sub is just to underpin the sound not over it...
good to see.... next is the wall of speakers!!
@marcopolo333333 youtube333 It sounds the best in that era because it wasn't nearly as about throwing layer upon layer and more layers of processing on it... They understood then that the less you play with the signal, the more pure it is.
Nice, you weren't kidding when you said "big" :) Mechlabor STM is the next one to get! Amazingly, it is still possible to get parts around here.
Fantastic!!!
Very nice collection..I got my first reel to reel yesterday Teac A-2300SX love it.I noticed the Teac 1200 you have it's a keeper.
Totally obsessive, I love it !
awsome collection, wish i had one of these
Great collection ! And nice montage
+100500
I have had reel to reels since the early 70’s. Great! Since digital came out I don’t find the need to fool with it anymore.- Happily Digital Audiophile. ( same way with my hundreds of mint vinyls from the 60’s). 💿💿🎧🎧👍👍👍
That was wonderful. Thank you
Теперь понятно с чего советские инженеры вдохновлялись на примитивные копии для создания советских магнитофонов: Снежеть-204/Ristona EW5515, Юпитер-203/Philips N4504, Сатурн-202-2/Philips N4502, Союз-101(110)/Philips N7150, Маяк-001/Sansui SD-5000
Fantastic kolection👍
They are all beautiful, I was hoping to see multi-track machines though. thanks for sharing ! love to watch them, seems all in mint condition.
Great collection! Some I've never seen. The Green VUs on the Telefunkens are super cool.
MAN , I ENVY YOU !!!! WHAT A CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND THEY GOT !!!!! HEAVEN !!!!
Woow Beautiful collection..!! I have four Open Reels: 2x desktop + 2x portables.
A question. Size wise, whats the smallest stereo reel-to-reel recorder made that still has great fidelity? I'm aware of the NIAGRA's but the input jacks arent standard RCAs and that opens up a whole world of headache.
OMG, I have Reel-to-reel envy!!
Reel to reel indeed! the real paradise
Very Nice collection friend.
I understand your passion for these.
I too have a nice collection of around 20 machines ranging from Sony, Akai, National and more..
I also have a couple of Dokorder 1120s too.
Love analogue sound and these reel to reel machines have the best playback quality of any magnetic tape system.
Schitterend !!! Een tripje down memory lane... ;-)
Indrukwekkende verzameling en prachtig in beeld gebracht.
Woah, awsome collection. I’m trying to refurbish my old 4407. Fingers crossed ❤
AMO LAS REEL TO REEL...NICE COLLECTION.
BEAUTIFUL! 👍👍👍
Crazy collection!
Een prachtige verzameling van mooie tape recorders.
Incredible !
OMG I'm still trying to buy my first one at 51 years of age. I just want to load my crazy huge old school collection onto some reels and let it play! Nice collection dude!
So, you have the collection but lack the equipment? The primary reason I haven't pursued beginning a collection of these gems is the seemingly prohibitive cost of the media relative to the vinyl counterparts.
@@mechantics hey nicholas, don't let that stop you, the media costs nearly nothing. Most of the times i get my tapes for free with a tape deck I buy. Only the very good 10" metal maxell-reels you can find for 20 euros ( 198 min ), which isn't all that expensive too.
@@milan5571 when you look at it , as long as the tapes c.an be housed within optimal conditions, they are still appreciating in value.
Теперь знаю откуда наши Снежти, Юпитеры Ростовы пошли.! Красиво! Спасибо!
Да ну , как же так? Это клятые буржуи - капиталисты у великих русских все украли и скопировали с Юпитеров Снежетей Маяков и Тембров!
Very nice. I still have a 4 reel to reel recorders.
Arnoud, prachtige video! Een geweldige collectie heb je. Ik heb altijd bandrecorders gehad. Thans een AKAI 630 D. Mostermachine.
Love,love,love Magneto !
Jeez, I have 3 and I thought I have a problem. Nice stuff.
.
Fantastica coleccion amigo, felicitaciones mias, yo tambien colecciono magnetofonos Uher Report, maravillosos aparatos, saludos.
i love reel to reel its shame they don't make them anymore . I have Sony tc 270 it still works
Great collection! I found myself an AKAI DS4000mkll not so long ago. I saved it from a builders /demolition skip. Needs some service. But no worry,thanks to the internet i found a servicemanual.
Please keep up the good work.👍
@Minilanka පුංචි ලංකා am i selling what?
A service manual or what?
I won't sell the machine😁
@Minilanka පුංචි ලංකා
Well as i said, not selling the machine, sorry fot that😔
Tolle Zusammenstellung, die Träume meiner Jugend! Habe es nur zum Besitz einer Grundig TK23 geschafft!
Great compilation, the dreams of my youth! I only managed to own a Grundig TK23!
Wish i kept my Revox, amazing half track, amazing quality.
I still have three A77 Revox recorders. 40 Years old, but still in perfect condition.
¡ ESPECTACULAR ! 👍👍🙂
This is a GREAT! Thank you!
Very nice... my reel-to-reel collection includes several Grundigs, Sony, Tandberg, Stella, Ferrograph, Elizabethan... over the years I've also had Telefunken, Akai, and Philips.
/
Nice collection.
All I can say, is Awesome !
Prachtig gemaakte video!
I once had a big Philips N4506 as shown at 0:23, and an Akai GX-270D. The N4506 was great for its many recording options including adding smooth fade-out on existing recordings. The GX-270D with autoreverse could fill the room for 3 hours on end without interruption using carefully selected music on a tape. I've gone all-digital now, but the former tapes live on as playlists for a collection of flac files.
I bought two TEAC 80-8's to build one for my coffeehouse but decided it was beyond me. They are 2 really cool paper weights. I have a number of others as well.
Great collection
Wow...it means a loooot!
Even vraagje: wanneer je bij het afspelen 2 sporen door elkaar hoort. Ligt dat dan aan de bandrecorder of aan de band? Alvast bedankt voor het evt. antwoord? Hele mooie video trouwens!
some veeeeeeery nice r-t-r tape recorders in your collection!
leuke video's maak je ga zo door! :)
Had the Sony TC-378. Nice vid!
My collection of just two, but neither in your collection: Akai 1721L and Ferrograph Super Seven (fitted with both half and quarter track playback heads). I used to have a Tascam 52 but alas that died, I do miss it.
Very nice collection! Now you need a clean hardly used Akai 747 dbx.
Very cool , hope you keep collecting and sharing .
That's one impressive Collection my friend! I'am Happily Envious,👌
Wow
Mooi ding die Sansui; ik heb hem zelf ook. Geheel gereviseerd. Die dingen zie je echt zelden.
Probably the only thing better looking than then all those different design reels--especially the aluminum ones--is seeing them spinning on those lovely vintage machines. ;)
SUPERB!!!

@Arnoud Besseling wonder if i am going to have just one philips for simple replay my recording from my sony TC377, which Philips you may recommend ? cheers
Leuk gedaan. Welke recorder is je favoriet?
Zelf heb ik ooit een Grundig TK-140 mono 4-sporen recorder met buizen gehad, gevolgd door een Sony stereo 4-sporen 2-koppen recorder (TC-270 meen ik), gevolgd door een Sony TC-366 (bijna hetzelfde als een 377) gevolgd door een Philips N4510. De laatste was mijn favoriet maar helaas liet een germanium transistor het afweten dus kon ie niet meer terugspoelen...
Al die recorders heb ik op de jaarlijkse rommelmarkt van mijn school gekocht, behalve de laatste, die ik in ruil voor een vriendendienst gekregen heb in combinatie met een pre-produktie Philips CD-100. De CD-100 heb ik nog maar helaas heb ik de bandrecorders weg moeten doen toen ik ging emigreren...
Ik heb een haat / liefde verhouding met de Philips recorders van eind jaren 70. Mooi design, prettige bediening en prima geluid, maar kwalitatief niet geweldig en snel vervuilende koppen. De Sansui is ook een bijzonder fraaie en vrij zeldzame recorder maar kwa geluidskwaliteit kan hij niet tippen aan de Akai GX-210D en de Sony TC-378 (die laatst heeft ook nog eens uitgebreide bias en bandsoort instellingen) De Grundig in deze video heeft een defecte motor en de TEAC werkt niet op 19 cm / sec. (printbreuk) De Philips N7150 is een hopeloos geval en misschien wel de slechtste bandrecorder ooit gemaakt, áls 'ie het doet is het geluid echter uitstekend.
fantastic collection, but I'm missing the big revox machines !
Nice, I’ve just been given a Phillips n4450 in great cosmetic condition with the user manual and bifold plastic cover complete and intact. I haven’t plugged it in yet, it’s been sat for a decade in a garage so it’s going to be a big restoration project. At minimum the belts will need replacing but I suspect there’ll be a fair few components that will need replacing. Anybody know of any good restorers in the southern half of of England? I might have a go at it myself if I can find enough info online.
Akai GX 280D SS and Teac A2340R fan my self. Have had Pioneer 707, Akai 4000, Pioneer RT-1011L for 10" reels and few others. My 1st reel to reel was an Akai GX 280D SS which I bought at the Augsburg PX back in 1974. Down to 4 Working GX 280D SS and 1 Teac A2340R now. Have 2 GX 280D SS still trying to restore in my workshop. I'm an Analog man! :) Just like Joe Walsh says. ;)
Very nice collection and well presented video thanks
No wonder why they are hard to find and expensive!
AKAI 4000DS on ebay about 100 pound
Wow, I dont have a reel to reel and only seen them. Great collection! Do they sound better then records?
Nice collection ⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🎱🎱👍👍great sound and quality that"s amazing:✨✨
lovely collection i have a revox B77 also had a revox A77 sony/akai/grundig /ferograph/teak
Great collection Thanks When I was in Vietnam 66/67 and 68/69The blokes were buying Akai, sanyo Sansui National, Sony all Japanese brands the PX were getting them from Japan
Half the fun of owning a reel-to-reel tape deck is watching the reels spin.
Excellent! Respect from Romania, Bucuresti! Laurentiu
