You just got yourself a subscriber! I've been working as a live audio engineer for 5 years now, so I never really got to work in studios but I do love tape machines. The very first video I uploaded on my channel in 2010 was of a russian home tape recorder. I was 17 at the time and everybody thought I was crazy haha! Some actually believed that the recorders were film projectors. I've been using them since then for fun, but unfortunately due to other commitments, I never had the chance to properly grow my "collection". Now, I have a Tascam ATR-60-8 which I bought damaged, for £400 or so and managed to bring it back to life by teaching myself more about electronics. Then I bought a Revox B77 MK2 High Speed (15IPS) 2 track, for £160 also broken and I fixed it. And then a Tandberg series 4000, same idea but I didn't recap that one yet. I had other recorders, but I only kept these because I love them the most. I don't have your experience but I never really gave up on tape machines. The books that I have on audio engineering more or less cover tape machines, but videos like these are equally as valuable to me. I hope to see more from you!
Good information.
