  • 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.

  • Great collection, amazed at all of them, ya, someone left a comment about how you present them and your voice, there right, AWESOME. Thanks.

  • Thank you very much!

  • 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.
