Philips EL3501

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.

I've got an older version of this for sale, nice recorder

[Seblington]

I would love to buy it, have sent you an email

[dozow]

I think this one used to be mine... Great sounding machine!

[Seblington]

What makes you say that?

[Guidovdr]

Very nice machine! Philips is Dutch by the way, not German. I think the Philips pro-recorders were used in many studios in Holland. Pity they are pretty rare these days, even in Holland.

[Seblington]

Cheers, you are right, dont know why U said Germany. Just posted a new video of the older valve machines.

whats your opinion on the sony TC-252D?

[dozow]

Missing counter glass and some other things. I need a closser look to the amps to be sure. Anyway, even it's not it's stil a great machine! Many hits recorded with this type off recorder. I've seen footage from the Golden Earing in the studio with in the background 3 EL3501's running.

Cheers, the recorder started live in 1955 and onwars, this is much later, the early ones were yellow and had valve electronics were this is transistor

Cheers! Once again a very nice and interesting demonstration Seblington!

May you tell how old this recorder is? By the way: I´ve never seen Philips recorder in German radio stations... The allways used Telefunken or STUDER / ReVox.
