Nagra III, IV, IV-s, IS and SN reel to reels Nagra III, IV, IV-s, IS and SN reel to reels

Video duration: 551 seconds

Swiss made to the highest standard, these recorders are the best ever made portable reel to reels for their build quality and sound though they do not share the amount of functions the competitors machines had to offer like the Sony APR-2003 and the UHER 4000, 4200 and 4400 did but none of these machines had the syncropulse pilot time system.

This machine does not pre date the paper tape and steel band recorder but the wire recorder was the first marketed magnetic recording device available. The recorder has many drawbacks such as wire breaking, snagging and loss of frequency response which is already very poor.

I didn't like these machines at first as I had the A810 which has better electronics in it, however I started to like it once I got some side panels and though not used very often it's a machine I would be very reluctant to part with.

One of the few professional reel to reels Philips made, this recorder is very advanced for its time, glass heads mean this recorder needs less repairs and lapping.

Philips only did a few pro tape recorders, the ones I know of are the EL3501, 3503, 3505 and 3509, the model numbers do not reflect their age as the 03 and 09 are the oldest. I brought this machine off Ebay some time ago, it never came with the leads to make it work but I am hopeful I will find them from Germany.

Posted by: Seblington

Video duration: 544 seconds

I would love to get an Ampex 300 like this but have not found a portable yet, this recorder was a budget machine just after the 300 and before the 350, the high end is not great but the tape is running 17% slower (UK 50Hz, USA 60Hz).

This is a short video of two projects I have, after buying 55 recorders this year, its time to stop and fix what I have. The Leevers Rich does not make a sound, the EMI has many problems, mainly not enough power to the motors and a damaged coupling from the capstan motor to the Capstan.
