Ferrograph Series 7
Geplaatst: vr 16 dec 2011, 0:02
Op zolder staat nog een Ferrograph Series 7 tapedeck, waar ik op dit moment helaas niks mee kan, vanwege wat rubber rollen die zijn vergaan.
Zag net een leuke DIY oplossing voor "nieuwe" rollen. : Replacing Perished Rubber Idler Wheels In The Ferrograph Series 7
Helaas heb ik geen metaaldraaibank. Iemand hier die kan beschikken over zo'n draaibank en genegen is om drie van die ringetjes voor me te draaien?
Hoeft niet op korte termijn, want ik moet nog uitvissen hoe ze er uit te krijgen en welke diameter de ringen dienen te hebben.
Het zou mooi zijn om deze pracht machine weer aan het werk te krijgen.

Notes on Ferrograph
The Ferrograph tape recorder is, in my opinion, one of the finest sounding machines ever made. The series 7 generation has had a rather bad press due to the rubber parts melting and on the Seven, the head pressure pads causing problems. All these troubles are easily rectified and once serviced and properly set up the Ferrograph will out perform just about any machine you care to mention. They do have their little idiosyncrasies but this is what comes with a hand made machine and when one gets used to using them they are a joy. Built like a tank and easy to service these machines will go on forever. The electronics are simple and all the parts are easily obtainable. The early, round bodied, heads can be taken apart, finished and micro polished to bring them up like new. The same applies to the older 4, 5 and 6 series. These are valve based machines and have the magic that valves add to the sound.
