Скачать или смотреть UHER 4000 Report

After 6 month's labour on what was essentially a dead machine, we are half way there. It still needs completely recapping but that must await happier financial days.

The UHER 4000 REPORT, the preferred portable R2R tape recorder back in my day. was used by the BBC too. This one was used by STV (Svensk/Swedish TV) and though it was a remarkable development for its day, it weighed a ton. The arrival of the smaller and lighter cassette recorders spelled the end of the 400 Report The battery (see start of video) contributed to the weight and volume. I decided to remove that feature altogether.

This elegant little machine is 2-track, 4-speed mono taking 5"tapes. I can now listen to a crate of journalist's interviews which I have, recorded at 1 7/8 ips (it even has half that speed) which I can now listen to. Should be interesting!
