Come to the Fair! Mayfair 1600 Tape Recorder Restora...

The 1600 and the 1602 are noted for (More) A charming vintage rim drive tape recorder from the 1960's gets new life! Mayfair is a highly collectible brand of vintage reel to reel tape recorder. The 1600 and the 1602 are noted for minimalist simplicity of design and sleek appearance. With it's 1960's retro coloring (avocado and cream) and flash of elegance (silver metal reel platters), the machine caught the eye, if not the ear! Though the Mayfair 1600 is a rim drive tape recorder, it has a certain charm to it, not the least of which is that it only requires two batteries! As vintage electronics go, this machine is rather low tech, yet it has acceptable audio quality and ease of operation. The tape recorder shown here is very rare and arrived in pretty bad condition. The case window was missing, the battery compartment was corroded and the rubber idler wheels (unusual in a rim drive reel to reel tape recorder) had dried out and lost their grip. With the help of some cleaning chemicals, I was able to clean up the corrosion and restore some grip to the idler wheels, bringing the machine back to functionality. This machine uses a 1.5 volt amplifier and DC bias. It is optimized for a crystal microphone (typical of rim drive technology) which did not come with it when I bought it on E-Bay. I am looking for a nice, reasonably priced crystal microphone typical of machines from this time period. If anyone knows of one for sale, please leave me a message. In spite of the problems, I was able to get the machine back up and running. While it is completely unsuitable for music (as most rim drive tape recorders are - the technology does not support constant speed the way capstan drive technology does) it has a certain charm to it. Its use of idler wheels is unusual in a rim drive tape recorder. Even as a vintage recorder, it cannot be considered serious audio equipment, but the electronics are so simple that they are pretty dependable, even after 40 years and who knows how many years of neglect, under who knows what conditions. I have a certain fondness for this little charmer. Don't know why. I just like it! About the Title Music: The title music to this video (which is played by a computer, not the Mayfair tape recorder) comes from the amazing Dream Angel Oracle Divination Software produced by ClydeSight Productions. It is one of over 20 musical selections that play in the background when one is using the program. The Dream Angel Oracle is a new form of divination software, fondly referred to as "Divination for the 21st Century Soul". It helps people talk to their guardian angels and spirit guides though an interactive computer interface.

Naked Continental 101 -Norelco Vintage Tape Recorder

Description: The Norelco Continental 101 vintage tape recorder dating from approx. 1964 is documented in this video along with "naked" views of the internal workings of the machine. It was advertised as (More) The Norelco Continental 101 vintage tape recorder dating from approx. 1964 is documented in this video along with "naked" views of the internal workings of the machine. It was advertised as a "professional quality" portable tape recorder, and sold in the amazing price range of $79 to $129! Considering that many full size stereo reel to reel tape recorders sold for about the same price (i.e. Emerson-Telectro, Webcor, Estey tape recorders, etc.) with many more features, it seems that Norelco had a very high opinion and expectations of the Continental 101 vintage tape recorder. As vintage audio, it deserves to be cataloged for historical reference due to its quality and rarity. This unit was found in the trash. It had battery leakage and some water damage. Some of the rubber drive parts had actually melted (a common complaint with vintage electronics - they didn't always use quality rubber for the parts) and were replaced with plumber's "O" rings. One special feature was the use of a rubber belt to control both rewind and back tension when in the record or playback mode. This belt has been stretched beyond operational limits and was replaced temporarily with a rubber band (not the best solution, but it did restore function to the machine). Although touted as a "professional quality" machine, the Continental 101 vintage tape recorder only ran at 1 -7/8 ips, a very slow operational speed notorious for poor high frequency response. Not surprisingly, the amplifier, even as vintage electronics, was only rated at: 80 - 8,000 HZ, a specification that today would be considered ludicrous with today's technology. The machine ran on 6 "D" batteries and weighed 7 pounds making it one of the heaviest portable vintage reel to reel tape recorders around. Part of this is due to the weight of the batteries, but admittedly, some weight is from the heavy capstan flywheel, which helped ensure a very accurate tape speed. The Norelco Continental 101 was something of a pioneering machine however. It is very possible that the research and development that went into the design of the tape recorder was later adapted in the first Norelco cassette recorders, which also ran at the slow 1- 7/8 ips speed. The hi fidelity response was greatly improved as the cassette recorder gained acceptance and blossomed in the garden of technology, so much so that such machines are still widely available today. ------------------------------------------ The musical selection the Norelco Continental 101 vintage reel to reel tape recorder plays is called "The Running Brook", track 4 of the CD titled "Forestdale, Tone Poems Inspired by Nature" available from ClydeSight Productions. http://www.clydesight.com/forestdale/ . The recording heard on playback was actually recorded with the Norelco Continental 101 vintage tape recorder; however, the stereo interludes are from the CD master file.
