The BIG Sounds Of The Drags..!

“want a popsicle?, The freezer broke!”

That was nice Mikey.
He was only 57 when he passed.
What a spirit!

Well, what can I say .. these almost dropped in my lap.
An estate sale with some audio related products.
These are STUDER brand pro/broadcast series decks.
The one in the stand is an A810, 4 sp deck, including 30ips.. 2500’ of tape goes by in 15 mins!
The other decks on dollys are A807 models.... another is on the workbench.
2 of the 807s need some operational attention.
So much fun. I am excited to be the current owner of these machines.

Then a few turntables arrived..
Pioneer PL-530, Thorens TD-160, JVC QL5 turntables






And a variety of tonearms. From LINN, GRACE, Transcriptor, Ortofon and others.







And last but not least a couple of cassette decks...
PIONEER CT-F1000


NAKAMICHI Model 600


This gear will be fun to clean-up and tune during winter.
There will be an order out soon for replacement belts, stylus’, etc
I hope someone finds all this interesting!...
Thanx for looking .
Graham

I love the vintage pioneer stuff.
Have some in the basement. Worked fine.

Yes AXE..
Your old stuff looks cool.
Lots of PIONEER followers have the ‘stack’ of Seventies silverfaced gear.
I have a buddy that wants the PL-530 TT and CT-F1000 cassette deck for his ‘stack’.

The latest toys for me are a broadcast turntable and an AKAI GX-500D 4-channel open reel deck.


And a few 16” diameter broadcast records from the Forty’s.
I have another arm for that broadcast table that may allow me to play the large ones.


I also acquired a tube LEAK FM Tuner.
i just blew to dust out of it, checked it for any obvious safety issues and plugged it in,
Very smooth sounds.

and a dbx 3BX processor.

lots of fun this winter cleaning & repairing toys.
