A British made Ferguson 3232 reel to reel on the channels 10 year anniversary

The channel has been going for 10 years and archiving my gadgets and repairs and today its the turn of this Ferguson 3232 reel to reel, all idler driven deck.

Congratulations on 10 years. Even the slow speed sounds pretty good.

Loved using these, largely because reels are BIG. Loved using Granny's. There are different qualities of course and I think the best ones had the largest reels which were a sort of frosted plastic, as I recall. Happy 2b corrected.

Congratulations on 10 years Edward. I always look forward to seeing a new episode in my subscriptions list. And that Great old British company that at one time or another in their homes Ferguson. Our first TV was a Ferguson , Lovely wooden cabinet and the Cathode ray tube kept the sitting room warm in the winter!

Best qualities were stood vertically, weren't they?

Happy 10th, I bet a 7.5ips recording made on a decent stock of tape creates a reasonable hifi playback based on the 3.75ips output very good for an idler machine

[@gaiuscoleman8815]

Do recording studios still use the best ones?

[@gaiuscoleman8815]

Is that The Seekers?

[@Vintage-Tech]

Yes both the new and the original Seekers
