Old Italian reel to reel semi-portable. It is a small recorder, but must plug in. Uses valves/vacuum tubes. AC motor. AC bias.<br /><br />But very poor frequency response. Even at 3 3/4 IPS, very muffled sound, even after cleaning and demagnetising the heads.<br /><br />GBC tape recorder or Great Ball Contraption made from Legos?????<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh97-erfRvw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh97-erfRvw</a>
