 Untitled Document

From the guest-book of the Open-reel Tape Recorder Museum:

Mr. Robert L. Atchison, the chairman of the Ampex Co., USA, (in blue jacket), visited the Museum in 2006, and he sent this Byer 66 tape recorder as an admit.
"Very excellent collection. I will try to help with some other info or machines" - he promised in the visitor's book.
This machine is the most scarcity tape recorder of the collection. Probably, there is no one other machine in Europe, like this. Made in Australia, (!) in 1955. Portable studio-machine. Tape speed is 38,1 cm/s. In the relatively little box can be found the mechanics and the amplifier with double vacuum tubes.
Also, there is my grandson in the picture, the sub-director of the Museum.

The Museum is not only a technical exhibit, but also a musical reflection. The recorders are playing music or spoken word representative of the era when they were manufactured.
