@@PlaywithJunk most people don't take pride in their work anymore. I worked in home entertainment for decades. Repaired TV, VCRs, camcorders, and sound systems. I would get 1 or 2 recalls/month, every other tech I've worked with would get 1 or 2 recalls/week. I've been accused of being too thorough???
@@jameswest8280 That's how it works. Bad technicians are better for the business. They can charge for more hours, more visits and finally sell a replacement because "it can't be repaired". A *good* technician who repairs an expensive device with just a new fuse and two capacitors doesn't make money. The value of customer happiness has dropped drastically.
I'm in my 50s now and first started listening to open reel tape in 1980 when I was 13 years old. (My very first machine was a 1961 Voice of Music 722, also with vacuum tubes.) In 2019, I started collecting open reel tape decks in a substantial way. I'm currently up to around 20 different machines, including both a Revox A77 and B77. I'm now in the process of buying a G36 from a fellow open reel enthusiast. I'm very excited to add this significant model to my collection! Thank you for a wonderful video! It's fantastic to see the original literature!
It seems we are the same age (1969?). Do you have a NAGRA tape in your collection? Those are probably the most perfect tape drives ever. And still very pricey and rare. There is even a pocket sized model designed for CIA etc. Also made in Switzerland like the Revox. ;-)
Very interesting piece of electronic with a Swiss slow motion speech. So everything is very understandable. Especially the part with the vacuum tubes. Thanks for that.
Well restored. I have still owned a G36 for many years. It has worked for many years several hours a day. I have used it infrequently for several years now, and each time I find with great surprise that it starts again as before, apparently. Perhaps the brakes after fast rewinding seem slightly less effective. Is it self-lubricating? But to what extent? Do I have to lubricate what? and do I also have to demagnetize the heads? The fact is that today there are very few technicians capable of getting their hands on these jewels. Only the internal aesthetics, that is the rational arrangement of the components, is enough to understand the ART with which it was conceived and built. Good times. Thank you for the care with which you keep this wonderful machine, which broadcast the music and words of most of the radio stations in Europe.
In fact I did not restore anything except cleaning the roller. Everything was just like new. I assume the recorder has not been used much. You can find the servive manual online but I think there is not much to do in terms of lubrication. The brake bands should possibly be replaced.
As I recall, unlike the A77, the G36 capstan was driven directly from the mains frequency. Changing to 60Hz was quite a task. The internal power transformer handled the voltage switch, but you had to rewire the motor capacitors on all 3 motors, and then you had to remove the capstan motor shaft and install a 60Hz shaft, which was obviously smaller in diameter than the 50Hz shaft. I believe this then also required that you readjust the pinch roller positioning and tension. The A77 simplified this dramatically by having a built in FG motor drive system, only requiring that the voltage be switched. But I'm not sure about the take-up and supply motors. Those may still have needed capacitor changes. As for the comment about printed circuit boards not being common in a tape recorder from the mid 1960's, I'd have to disagree. Most machines from that era did use pcb's. Just look inside a Tandberg, Grundig, Telefunken, etc from that same era. Thankfully, Revox stayed mostly away from these, as those old boards were poor quality and prone to lots of issue. My guess is that Revox was concerned about mechanical issues with the boards on a machine that was designed for semi-pro portable use, and being conservative, decided to go with what they knew would work.
A tip on how to properly stop the tape after a wind. Rewind is demonstrated around the 39 minute mark. When the stop button is depressed, it takes a while for the brakes to bring the tape to a stop. It is very likely that the brakes have become ineffective because the stop button is improperly used. The proper method to bring a tape to a stop after rewind is to reduce the motion of the tape by switching to fast-forward, which will use engine braking to reduce transport speed, and then hit the stop button when the tape reels have nearly stopped. The inverse of this advice applies to fast-forwarding the tape pack.
That will certainly work. But I wanted to show the automatic stop function in the video. So I left it run on purpose. On the other hand, braking too fast could also damage the tape. It's a large and heavy spool, lot of energy must be stopped. But yeah, I think I have done this on other tape drives.
It's relatively simple... inside it's like a small tape reel and outside must fit into a large reel. Thickness must be a bit thinner than a reel to clamp the large reel securely
Puh, glück gehabt, hatte schon die befürchtung, Sie würden das schöne Gerät total zerlegen. Da gibt es bestimmt einen Liebhaber für, es sei denn, das gute Stück hat schon einen Liebhaber der es ausgeliehen hat um das tolle Video zu machen. Danke für die darstellung und das das Gerät heil geblieben ist...
Ich habe hier den Vorgänger, die F36. Wunderschönes Gerät, das sich auch klanglich absolut nicht vor z.B. einer CD verstecken muss, gerade wenn man mit 19 cm/s aufnimmt. Es ist einfach klasse, solche schöne Röhrentechnik am Leben zu halten :)
Nice Tape Recorder. I would have liked a recording from the TH-cam library directly inserted and then through the tape digitized back into the computer. I wonder how the quality change would have been, if any.
A true professional Open REEL with all the experience of Willy Studer. At this stage, Japanesse sill not very experienced IMHO, the only company capable of doing something like the G36 could be AMPEX. The othe brand I love is UHER, the poors Nagra. And of course Nagras. But Studer was prosumer of studio level. Then the A77 (peak perefection). Many other brands had consumer level machines, Grundig, Roberts (AKAI) ... but the G36 is another animal
@@PlaywithJunk To me it sounded like a problem with a wireless microphone (I guess you were wearing a transmitter when you were pulling the chassis out of the cabinet)
@@dkmmhdk Yeah I use a wireless mic but I never had problems with that. But in this video I thought the sound is a bit low. So I made it louder in the editing.... that was a mistake probably.

Thank you very clear. I know now that I need to hunt down the remote plug. Unfortunatly I have lost it. Do you know which connections should be linked?
The socket has only 3 pins wired internally. All three wires are connected together by the dummy plug. Unfortunately from the schematics I can't say if it's the leftmost or rightmost three pins. But since nothing else is connected, you can try bothe sides. Or you open your recorder to see where the wire go. www.logosfoundation.org/g_texts/Orfeus/service_manuals/Revox/g36Manual.pdf
@@PlaywithJunk thx for your reply. I really appreciate it. I also checked the shematics and could not directly tell. In the meantime I found a spare part back panel with the plug on it. There is also something wrong with my fuse holder and that is on there to. So hopefully I’m completly set. Looks like te a77 and b 77 plug could also be used for the g36. Especialy of the configuration doesn’t really matter.
The audio was much better when you started talking about the tubes. Must have recorded that section of video using a different microphone . It just went back to all bass response.
they apply a fixed voltage that creates a defined torque. Both motors want to spin away from each other but the capstan and roller make the speed. If the tape would break, the supply motor would run clockwise. The reel motors just maintain a constant tension on the tape. The speed is given by the capstan motor.

Hello sir..I saw your restoration..I saw how well you know about it I ask you for help..I have a revox g36 ... if it has a lot of tape on one of the rollers in that part if I run it goes very slowly. .what should I check? I only mean fast scrolling ..thanks
www.logosfoundation.org/g_texts/Orfeus/service_manuals/Revox/g36Manual.pdf Here you find the service manual in English. The mechanism of the G36 is simple. You have 3 motors and they are directly driven by AC power. There are also mechanical brakes, driven by solenoids. I would first check if they work. Maybe one brake does not release and that causes your machine to run slow.
No! Its a studio maschine!!! It was used in broadcast, tv and musicstudios! ...it have give the 15 ips maschine g36, and with bobby reel!!! For studio working!!! Its one of the best tube recorder ever build!!! The tandber model 6 was also a pro deck with 7" reel!!!!

If you really need your music to go up to Megahertz then yes. Otherwise it is completely unnecessary because your ear only goes to 20kHz if you're young.....
@@DAVIDGREGORYKERR well, it's ok for digital sound because of the much higher bitrate. But for analog it's a bit of overkill.... except you record some kind of surround sound. But yeah... you could do it with a much slower tape speed. So HiFi sound will fit onto a tiny cassette.
@@PlaywithJunk Doesn't that damage the tape when its "flapping" around hitting other parts of the recorder ? Sorry for the stupid sounding question. I was assuming it would rapidly slow down or stop the reels when it gets to the end of the tape and not fly of hitting stuff :)
yes the tape end gets damaged but it is no problem because there are always a few turns of unused tape at both ends. Most tapes also have a plastic leader that is insensitive for damage. The tape end also gets scratched when rolling it on the spool.
I think the brakes are a bit worn, on my Braun TG1000 braking was a lot faster. When he manually engaged the brake solenoid it seemed quite easy to turn the drive shafts, perhaps the brake bands need some more tension
