If you found a Hornyphon WM-5104 reel to reel tape deck in the street for free would you take it home? Because apart from being a good-looking 1961 piece of tech, I think we have to agree that Hornyphon is objectively the funniest name for a manufacturer of audio equipment.

New video! I'm trying to fix the stuck tape transport in a Philips N4416 reel to reel from 1972.

This mid century reel to real tape recorder had been at the local goodwill for months, calling to me. I finally persuaded my husband that it belongs in our house, so here it finally is! We have NO idea if it still works, we'll worry about that later 😁

I checked the azimuth with the same 16kHz signal and the oscilloscope and the phases are rock solid with the fixed roller rather the ball bearing in the left tape guide. That is a clear win for the factory configuration. #RevoxB77 #AnalogAudio #MagneticRecording #ReelToReel #HiFi #Tape

Hi to all, I updated the page about the #RevoxB77 mk II on my home site. I studyed the effect of the popular mod that consists in replacing the original fixed roller on the right tape guide with a ball bearing. The results seem marginally better with the original factory configuration, though.

I never really considered myself a hipster, but they do say the amount of hipster you are is directly proportional to how inconvenient your choice of music formats is…
Excuse me while I transfer these tapes to Minidisc.
I just got a _really_ good deal on this and several boxes of tapes. It all seems to be quite well cared for.

I used my reel to reel recorder as a tape delay in Soupçons, you can hear it in the drum machine track at the very beginning (further processed via a bandpass filter driven almost to self oscillate and a chorus). I created a tape loop that was quite flimsy and the imperfections added a lot to the character 😍#ReelToReel #MusicProduction #AnalogAudio #RevoxB77

If you are curious to listen to the difference, here is Réminescence bounced back from the #ReelToReel recorder. It is a mp3, unfortunately, but you can compare with a previous toot, that included the digitally produced file. #Music #AnalogAudio #RevoxB77 #MastoArt #MastoMusic With the #dbx type I noise reduction active, the dynamic range approaches the 90dB 😳

And since I like a lot to have some physical medium in my hands when I finish the production of a new piece of #music, I transferred Réminescence on tape au 15 ips with dbx type I. I had to install a new reel on a #LPR90 pancake 🧐 I like working with the recorder for a final bounce, even if most of my production chain is digital. #ReelToReel #RevoxB77 #AnalogAudio

Fun fact: the length of the New Star album is 33 min 21s, that reproduced at 15 ips fills exactly one 10.5” reel (762m or 2500ft) of #SM900 high output #tape by #RTM. 😍 #Music #MastoMusic #IndieMusic #Synth #ReelToReel

smoke signals / nerduban. 1968 [full album • double lp • analog psych noir rock]
Unearthed from a forgotten reel-to-reel tape labeled “Nerduban – Violet Lantern Sessions.”
This 30-track double LP was tracked in Spring 1968 at The Violet Lantern Club, South Side Chicago — a nocturnal journey of analog tremolo guitars, swirling Farfisa organs, brushed snares, modal jazz fragments, and hypnotic noir psychedelia. -Captured straight to mono tape — no edits, no overdubs. -All bleed, hiss, and hum left intact. -Restored carefully from decayed tape and analog drift. – Let the echo pull you in.

LINER NOTES: From the inner sleeve of the 1968 Violet Lantern pressing: “Nerduban never played for the crowd. They played for the shadows in the room.”
Recorded in the spring of 1968 inside the dim-lit rehearsal chamber of Chicago’s Violet Lantern Club, Smoke Signals captures a moment that feels both ancient and eerily current. This isn’t music made for the radio, but for the tape deck of a forgotten basement — where echo swirls, tremolo pulses, and stories never find their endings. Every hiss you hear is real. Every amp buzz, every tape drift, every ghost in the left channel — it all stayed. No edits. No second takes. This was Nerduban at their most honest: ambient, abstract, moody, raw. With analog equipment humming just past the point of breakdown, they mapped out a noir-psychedelic terrain that sways between modal jazz and smoke-drenched rock séance. You don’t listen to this record — you drift through it. — W. K. HEINGART Archivist & Engineer Nerduban Archive Circle, 2025

My TEAC 32-2B is home and operational again. Turns out it’s a rare one, actually being a Tascam X-10 disguised as a TEAC 32-2. I guess that’s why they added the “B.” It has 2 drive belts instead of 1, but the kicker is that it supports both NAB (North American) and IEC (European) EQ with a push button on the front panel. #GearHunter #MusicProduction #Analog #ReelToReel #Tascam #TEAC

We watched "Late Night with the Devil" (2023) tonight. I posted a #5SecondMovieReview of it earlier. We enjoyed it.
However... one little thing about it is nagging at me, like a splinter in the mind's eye.
It's a period piece, set in the #1970s. The major thread of the story includes a psychologist and her sessions with a patient, which are #recorded. Part of one is played back as part of a #television show, and onscreen during that #playback is an open-reel (aka reel-to-reel) #tape #deck playing a tape.
1970s, open-reel recording - it's #retro, it's #cool, it's period-authentic, right?
I can't shake the feeling that whoever put the visual together has never actually seen an open-reel tape recorder in operation. This picture is lousy, because it's a screencap from the movie, which is supposed to be showing a television broadcast in good old analog SD - but it gets the point across.
See anything wrong?
The takeup #reel, on the right, turns clockwise, the opposite direction of the (normal) direction of the supply reel. So the tape wraps onto the inner side of the takeup reel, and ends up "inside out".
There's also no tension arm on the supply side, and an apparent #tension arm on the takeup side, but it's not actually in the tape path.
I don't think any machines were actually made like this, but I'm not an #expert. Can anyone identify the deck they butchered or digi-simmed to create this #sin against nature? 😉
