I couldn't find this manual or the schematics within online, so I bought a hard copy. What's the best way to scan this for upload to the Internet Archive?
#MUSIC#IDENTIFICATION HELP WANTED!
I've finally got transferred an open reel I bought from a recycling shop in #Toronto , ON, many many years ago.
Unfortunately I have no idea the artist, album, or song names!
Do you recognize any of the music, vocals or instrumentation in this sample I've prepared?
I bought a basically unlabeled 10" NAB Ampex 345 Master Studio reel-to-reel tape about 7-8 years ago, from a recycling center in Toronto.
I finally had it professionally tape-baked and transferred, and will pour over what the heck is on it; most likely posting it to archive.org. #archival#preservation#reeltoreel#digitization
Any #Beatles fans? From my father-in-law's collection, just listed a very rare reel-to-reel album of "Yellow Submarine" on #ebay. Take a look & place a bid!
I captured one of the Signs Of The Zodiac releases, Aries, from a reel-to-reel 7.5 IPS release. Unfortunately this capture is both flawed and incomplete, however the quality is very nice despite the flaws.
Got this beast back from being serviced. Tested the transport, and will be testing the recording and playback tomorrow. Here’s a quick list of what was done:
-new counter belt
-new pinch roller
-16 new transistors in the preamp stage
-level and bias alignment to ATR MDS-36 tape.
-burnished relay contacts and verified proper operation in both directions.
-test run 12 hours in all modes.
Finally #digitizing some old family #ReelToReel recordings. Trying to find just the family stuff outside of the already available commercial music, which was recorded from vinyl to tape.
