Valve Reel Recorder - Free (collection only N London)

[thermionic]

Hi,

Please see attached photo of ancient reel recorder. It contains original 1960s valves (EL34 and others). It has a nice ammeter and knobs that could be pinched for other projects.

It is free if you come and pick it up in North London. Drop me  a PM. Serious picker-uppers only. Thank you!

BTW - There is also a massive 10A Zenith Variac. This is not free, but if you offer a token amount it's yours. These usually fetch £100+, but it needs to go , so any offer is likely to be accepted

Hi Justin,

Would you allow a courier collection? If you do please mail me what your are looking for the variac.

Regards,

Cemal

Looks like a Vortexion transport.

Hey Rob
Why don't you hop down the m23 and find out? I'll give you a guided tour of my workshop while you're over if you like.

edit: if it's not a vortexion you have to take it, it's the law

Cemal - It is owned by a friend. Will ask him re: courier and send an email once I know.

Hi Justin,

Perhaps I should have been clearer. I was meaning the courier collection of the tape recorder and if it was possible then I would take the variac too. However, if Rob is closer and can collect then I am happy to step back.

Thanks Justin, the guided tour sounds fun, but the machine is not for me.  I might have some diagrams for it though.  I already have too much junk here, & at other storage places.  I need to get rid of some stuff myself....

Looks like a sweet recorder for experiments, repair or maybe parts... Too bad I am not in London!

Thumbsup, free gear is not very common here !

Items still available.

I'm selling the variac for a friend, and he says he'll take £50 for it. I was wrong about the power rating: it is 8A. Primary is 240v / Output is adjustable to 270V. It's a beautiful unit, made in London.

He is also prepared to accept a courier if you pre-pay for it.
