@@robvdc Thank you for your support and greetings! I'm glad to hear you're interested in the Grundig CR 120 A. This recorder uses an AC bias recording circuit, and I've carefully tuned the mechanism, adding a precision flywheel to effectively reduce wow and flutter. I've also replaced the original head with a brand new dual-curved head. The sound quality is absolutely stunning! Wishing you all the best ！
Wow I am so happy that I found your video! This is exactly what I want to build. Using old car stereo sets that still have this tape mechanism. Do you have any more information on how you connected everything ? I am still learning electronics so I don't know were I would start really.
Good better best, and let it rest. Too good is better, And better best. I have been programmed. To do what? I dont know yet 😱 But in all seriousness, im very impressed and inspired! Great job! 😊
Thanks for the subscribe and the props! Glad you're digging what I'm doing. Keep watching for more cool stuff, and definitely hit me up if you've got any suggestions or just wanna chat!
@@analog_music_lover I wish they made them even today, i got a JVC VHS HIFI Machine but it doesn't work unfortunately. Mechanism looks fine, i think logic circuit problem
This is so cool man! You did a fantastic job, Ive been wanting to make one but Im having trouble figuring out which wires coming from my tape heads go where! Awesome machine, thank you!
Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you like it. If you're having trouble with the wiring, maybe I can help. I'm thinking of making a tutorial on the wiring process-would that be useful to you? Let me know what specific issues you're running into, and I'll do my best to guide you. Keep on creating!
@@analog_music_lover Most definitely. Since all I have are a handfull of heads I salvaged from old non-working tape decks, I have no idea -I had no idea so many wires came out of each one. I feel if I could figure out which wire goes to the input, output, control etc. that would give me personally a good feel for how to actually go about hooking them all up to work together as a machine.
That's awesome you've got those mechanisms on hand! I'd love to see what you create with them. If you decide to make a tape deck, share the results with us. It's always exciting to see vintage tech getting a new life. Go for it!
@@analog_music_lover Yes absolutely! Right now I'm building a tape echo and that's the reason I bought those. For motors and such. PCB's are on their way. I will have to build my own tape transport mechanism for that also, but it might take a while.
Sounds like you're on an exciting DIY journey! A tape echo project is super cool. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you hit any snags, or if you need some tips or encouragement along the way. And definitely keep us posted on your progress!
Thanks for tuning in! The 'Manchurian candidate' effect is just a special feature of my DIY echo-guaranteed to make any lullaby sound like a top-secret transmission. As for the rhythm, I'll keep working on it until it's 'better than the best'. 😄 Keep the feedback coming!"
@@analog_music_lover I am quite certain that you and your little mind control gadget are far more dangerous than TikTok or the most diabolical James Bond nemesis. keep up the good work, my friend!
@@frederickbaugher8361 Ha, love the shout-out, my friend! I'll keep channeling all that 'diabolical' energy into dropping beats rather than world domination plans. Stay tuned for more gadgets that are shaken, not stirred!
I would suggest ABC studios ⚫should have a giant titan golden Phoenix 🟡🦅in a live movie along with a giant titan Red Dragon 🔴🐉a giant titan Green Gorilla 🟢🦍a giant titan pink and Purple 🌸🟣🐴and a giant titan Black Wolf⚫🐺🦬and Scott Eastwood and Kat Graham 🧑🦳🙎🏽♀and especially a giant titan creature the film could and would take place in the state of OREGON 🇺🇸
Oh, this is definitely Hotel California.... But you guys are playing the acoustic version, specifically from the live album Hell Freezes Over. It is probably the only time the Eagles have played Acoustic Live.
Thanks for the comment! I'm not the performer in the video, but I also admire the acoustic rendition of 'Hotel California' they've done here. It captures a raw and authentic feel that's really captivating. It's always amazing to see how music can cross borders and bring people together.
You should talk about the internal electronics sometime. Did you modify electronics from an existing tape machine, or create custom electronics? Love what you've done!! ❤
