------------------------------ -----------------

This channel is mainly about VINTAGE AUDIO TAPE RECORDERS (cassette and reel to reel). Our focus is on displaying the functions and designs -- internal and external -- of vintage tape recorders (mostly portable battery operated machines) from the mid-1960's on. We take them apart so you don't have to!

We choose the machines we restore based on uniqueness of design, attractiveness, and innovation. We feature machines made by Aiwa, Sony, Westinghouse, Emerson, Standard, and many more tape recorder manufacturers.

Our purpose is to create a "Virtual Vintage Tape Recorder Museum" here on You Tube as an educational outreach for people who have never seen a tape recorder, let alone have any idea how one works.

We are trying to preserve our audio and technological history. Our goal is to, wherever possible, resurrect these often forgotten and neglected vintage tape recorders so people can hear the sound of the 1960's the way we did.

By understanding where we have come from, we can better appreciate where we are, and possibly be inspired for where we are going.

It all started with the restoration of a Wollensak 5750 stereo tape recorder from 1968. Since we posted that video, we have made many more tape recorder videos, some in more than one part where the interesting aspects of the machine justify greater detail.

And for fun we have created some "Silly Silly Tape Recorder" videos showing more lighthearted uses of these machines, added some fun videos about cats, music, educational videos about our subliminal messages programs, share some animations we created and even a have special video about the classic ROBBY THE ROBOT (From Forbidden Planet).

Check our playlists, you may find something of interest!

Thanks for visiting the ClydeSight Channel!

Hello,yes the VU-Meters are mounted on a board,when i switch on rec and i keep the rec button pressed...the vu meter stays down...it's not showing anything...and both green and red ramp are supposed to show......an by the way...i think that is a capacitor problem....because if i don't plug it for 1 week....and when i do it i play immediatley a cassete both channels are working...the sound is superb.....and the both VU-meters work good.....and after one or two minutes...on the right channel you can hear only distorsion.......and the vu-metr goes again on peak...and remains there.....with very small up and down oscillations........thanks for your implication in this......cheers.

Thanks for sharing the VERA vintage video recorder video, it's very interesting to see how it was done back then.  That's one big reel-to-reel!

Ever since I can remember, I had a tape recorder. I'd play it back and
could see it all over again. I still have cassettes of us in a tree house!
Thanks for the great comments! RAD
