Ferrograph series 7

I have never thought much of these Ferrographs but this one is special this was modified by Ferrograph for the BBC, I was amazed to hear how much top end this recorder had at such a low speed of 3.3/4, the response was very constant on 7.1/2 and 15 ips as well.

That is a cool machine may i ask what brand tape is that on that grey reel i have some of that just curious

I think the tape is shamrock, its 2400ft which is quite thin

For cheap tape (if it's the correct tape on the reel), the responses were amazing! I wish I hadn't sold this recorder but I do have another 2 of these machines, another YD and one domestic series 7

Nice machine! But err... You're using Shamrock tape. That's not really representative ;)
