awesome set of tape recorders!

I have an Uher 4000 Report L (half track mono recorder) which is the machine that I use when I need to do any on-location record, especially for broadcast reports or interviews.
I hate those miniature MP3 toy-like or egg-shaped gadgets in fashion today. To use a reel to reel portable recorder is my choice for whichever kind of outside recording task, from "hunting" a thunderclap, a frog, traffic noise or even the whispering of running water coming from a brook, apart, of course, of radio uses.

The Watergate tapes were recorded on that Sony, but they were erased on a Uher.

Did not know that EMI made or used these devices. Very cool tape recorders.

Nice collection and an informative narration. I had a really heavy ex-military wire recorder once. I got it as a kid from a Scout sale and I remember lugging it a mile to Osterley train station along with armfuls of other tat I'd bought.
I've had a Philips, couple of Tandbergs and a Grundig or two. Currently I have a Lowe Optica, a Uher 4000 Report Monitor and a Uher Cassette portable. I can't remember the model number.

What batteries do the valve machines use? There's a good chance I can make working replicas.
Never mind--you need a couple of B101's for the HT. I can build those.

Thank you for the offer, I have got the layout for 4 different B101 batteries, and the electronics are very simple. using 7 9V batteries inside a box, I planned to make a rechargeable version but never got round to doing it, these batteries are available new for about £25

That wire recorder must sound terrible.

It would have been for dictation rather than music.
