EMI Emicorder reel to reel early 1950's

EMI were the first to bring out an audio recorder in the UK for studio work, later TP brought out a domestic machine called the sound mirror, then other companies like Ferrograph (Who had already made a military recorder in 1948). Though EMI had made the first audio recorders (EMI BTR-1), the didnt make a home recorder until the early 50's, they also had a full size recorder which was sold by HMV called the 3030. EMI put their name on a few other recorders such as the minifon wire recorder and some other none EMI machines but didn't sell any more recorders purely for domestic use, they did however release the TR-51 and TR-52 which were classed as semi professional rather than domestic.

Was the sound picked up on a mike or fed directly into the camcorder. I have an old Tandberg, but it does not play any more, and where I live no parts are available. I love reel to reel machines. Thanks for the video.

Sweet! I never heard of B-wrapping, except in U-matic video machines, they wrapped up that way on the takeup reel. After years of watching "standard" reel-to-reel machines, seeing this one's take up reel turn backwards is kind of unsettling... That's what you see when the capstan starts eating the tape!!

Very nice recorder, interesting the B-wrapping of the tape.
Surprising small diameter centre spindles in the reels hence high outside speed of the flanges.
It looked at first that is was 38 cm/sec.
Great valve sound

Vintage 1950s Akai Terecorder, VERY OLD EARLY MODEL!by CassetteMaster5,975 views
is this machine ac or dc bias? I would assume it to be ac because of the very high audio quality, but is it in fact DC?

Its AC BIAS on these machines, this sustem was used from 1948 and onwards.

Wow, I wasn't expecting such a big sound from that! Is that the internal speaker playing?
Any idea what year they started winding the take-up reel counterclockwise as in modern decks?

The reels spin in this direction because EMI tried to save money in the design, there are only a few machines which do this, from the early 1930's machines, they have run both reels in counter clockwize conditions in playmode.
Thank you.
