Studer A807 reel to reel tape recorder

I didn't like these machines at first as I had the A810 which has better electronics in it, however I started to like it once I got some side panels and though not used very often it's a machine I would be very reluctant to part with.

"cut my teeth" on these back in the early '90's in FM Great & VERY user friendly - esp. using the Loc1 & 2 features (not shown in vid) which allow user to mark 2 different locations on the tape via timer and relocate tape back to that spot. Highly accurate in this!!! Thank you - great memories. We had 3 side-by-side with the trollies.

Cheers! there are so many of these without the VU meters, I feel lucky to have one with them, being a portable one too saves space.

Cheers! I like this recorder too, looks better with wooden sides.

Fantastic description. Very nice machine. Mine is the VU on meter bridge version...they are great to own!!

Cheers! It's a great machine, just wish it was working right now :-(

If I bought an A807 with the lowest speed of 7.5 ips, can I make it play at 3.75 ips with the shuffle dial or some type of simple modification?

[@Seblington]

Does this mean the machine you have is a 30 / 15 / 7.1/5 ?

[@steelcantuna]

@@Seblington Yes. I finally found a manual in English on the net. It talks about changing jumper 11? I think. But, I'm still NOT sure if its that simple to change the machine to 15 / 7.15 / 3.75. Thanks for your reply. :)

The quality of the video is very bad!
