      The tape recorder "Ритм-Репортёр" 25Д57М" has been produced by the Leningrad enterprise "Lomo" since 1977. The tape recorder is included in the КЗМП7М reportage recording complex and is intended to be used both with the complex and autonomously for synchronous recording of sound accompaniment in off-site conditions of reportage or feature film filming. The tape recorder operates both from an autonomous power supply and from a 220 V AC network via a remote power supply.

    there is a switch "ускор ход" on the right to the main play/right selector which means "sped up play" maybe if you can record with this switch on you could then slow down the recording by switching it off during play. or just speed up your recordings :) hope this helps

I own a Yamaha djx2, microkorg, and a kawai sx-240 is the oldest thing in my possession. I mostly just use Reason, but I love older equipment like this! You remind me of my friend, Hunter, who is about your age, same hair, glasses. He owns a bunch of older sequencers and effects like this. When we jam, it's madness!

    9:24 but usually, the tape would be edited.
    On the other hand, it saves battery power, when the motor doesn't run all the time, so it's a minor disadvantage to start recording few seconds earlier.
    In the age of the first studio video recorders, they had to live with the need, to start recording and playback 2 minutes before, because the unit needed this time to record and playback properly, but they could deal with this, they usually have a schedule, a point where it starts.
    Back to this tape recorder, it seems that they are concerned about reliability and so they doesn't waste energy. There is no context, where it wouldn't be possible to start recording few seconds in advance.

    The slewing of the tape on start up sounds like a blown "start motor running capacitor" issue. It's usually a fairly straight forward replacement though with smaller tape recorders it can be a pain. It will probably be the largest capacitor and it may be leaking and stinking.

    • @Hainbach
      @Hainbach  3 года назад

      I think you might not get a correct feeling for its size in the video. A Stellavox is tiny compared to this, so if you know both Nagra and Stellavox and this, the comparison would not come to mind. After all, being smaller than Nagra was Stellavox claim to fame. There are some visual cues to the Stellavox on the LOMO, such as the arm layout, but overall this feels more like a chunky Nagra in operation.
      As to better: Stellavox were the Apple of their time - epoxyed modules that you can't repair, so if something fails you are screwed. I would be hesitant to buy one today because of that. Nagra you can still service easily.
