I’ve re-written this opening paragraph over and over but, well, you know how it is…so let’s just move on to the video. 

This week I’ve been testing out a classic reel to reel. This is quite a long video, but for me at the moment I’m really in no rush. Some things just can't be hurried - they take as long as they take, if not longer. Patience seems to be the order of the day.

Take care of yourself,

NOTE: Following feedback - I've re-edited a couple of things. A new version is embedded and linked to above. 4K is still processing.

A leisurely look at the classic Sony TC-765 Reel to Reel Tape Recorder

Thanks to a very generous donation I have a classic Sony Reel to Reel in the house. Before I pass this on to a friend, I’m checking it out to see what works and what needs work. Join me as stay in and test it out while passing on a few basic tips for anyone who is unfamiliar with open reel machines. Here’s my video about the Nixielyzer which appears near the beginning https://youtu.be/6kVIciuZtwM All music featured in this video is from the Youtube Audio Library - search in the Jazz & Blues category for tracks by Tracktribe - https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music?nv=1 Extra special thanks to Wilson for donating the tape recorder and Andy for picking it up for me. The nicest chaps bar none. I buy my tape reels from https://www.thomann.de/intl/recording_tape.html? ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

Great review Matt, nice machine. I ended up getting an RT-909 a few years back and love it - that was my number 2. My number 1 was the Technics RS1500 but I could never find one in the UK for anything vaguely resembling a sensible price..

That was on my list too - well the RS1700 and the there was the Akai GX-747 - too many to choose from when you can just have one.

I'm thinking that perhaps one of the Audities posts would have been a better place to mention this but in any case, the label Section 9 appears to be releasing new titles on 5" 7.5IPS open reel tape. Looks like virtually all their physical releases have sold out thus far but their latest pre-order is still available at a mere $60! https://section9tapes.bandcamp.com/
