I love finding ephemera like this in old media.

Despite their releasing six albums in the early 70s, I suspect you aren't familiar with the #FamleyGuitarBand. This is partly because their albums only ever saw release on #Quadraphonic #8Track - as well as on the even more obscure 7 ½ ips #ReelToReel format. Famley Guitar Band were a studio-only group that gave us loungy, guitar led instrumental versions of the hits of their day, and were surprisingly good at it - their winsome version of #DannyOKeefe's "Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues" gets me every time.
Quad 8-tracks are a trip: since the format required twice the tape to create the surround-sound effect, it cut the available play time on a tape in half. You'd only be able to hear the full effect on special quad players, as playback on normal 8-track players resulted in hearing just half (i.e. 2 channels) of the music.

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.

"Magnetic Tape x Bamboo x Effects = Magnetic Bowing Sound!!!
磁気テープを竹に張って演奏する民族楽器「磁楽弓（じがっきゅう）」三重奏による調べです。
This is a trio performance on the “JIGAKKYU,” a traditional folk instrument made by stretching magnetic tape across bamboo."
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 😳
