My Wollensak 2590AV cassette recorder.

This is my Wollensak model 2590AV professional cassette recorder. It is HIGH QUALITY....sounds better in real life than the low quality camera.

Being an old AV freak, Wollensak was developed my 3M in Minnesota. They are tanks. They focused on quality. It a keeper. Too bad it;s not 2 channel

Do you have any experience with the Bell &* Howell 16MM autoloads projectors?

[CassetteMaster]

@Thunderchicken1997 I do have one of those Bell & Howells.

You should look for an Advent 201 which is a stereo version of that exact deck. Advent used that transport because it was so bulletproof and US made. It was the first deck to have Dolby noise reduction and Chrome tape compatibility. Neal/Ferrograph of Great Britain also used that transport with Dolby and Chrome and was one of the first to have adjustable bias which could be monitored through the VU meter.

My school had one of these. I was a ten year old geek and absolutely blown away by this device which could advance the Kodak Carousel slide projectors all by itself while also playing the narration. Still looks like sorcery even today, 30 years later lol.

@BrooklynMouseReturns In addition to that, there was a song by Fleetwood Mac, but it is a WMG record, but YouTube is very lucky to avoid the madness, because of copyright issues from the evil WMG.

At 2:51, the song is "Upside Down" by Diana Ross. I have that song on a 45. I'm really sure that UMG wouldn't snatch its copyright material, because it's turned down due to a poor low quality camera.

Have one of these too and the slide projector synch works by putting an inaudible tone that changes the slide. Basically you run your patch cable between the two, and speak into the mic with record on. Then when you push the visual advance button on the cassette player it puts the code signal onto the tape. When finished just pop in your tape, slap your carousel of slides which corresponds with the tape presentation, press play and kick back and enjoy your automated slide show. Love Wollensak!
