In hardly used and excellent condition.

I am selling this in behalf of a friend in Co. Cork. I do have some really bad pictures / videos of this, so PM me for them and any other details.

It does have a built in and working amp as well I believe.

There are 10 tapes available. Price with the tapes €500 or €400 without.

thanks for looking.

It's a 7.5 and 15 ips 2 track unit.

Here are some pics of the unit including manuals and all accessories required to get you up playing and editing -

Can't say I would be interested... however I just thought I should comment that the Revox looks really nice!!

Seems really well kept, good condition etc. A bit of a work of art!!

Agree with the above - reel-to-reels are things of beauty. I always wanted one! Best of luck with the sale. Just to help you out - judging from the pictures, this looks like it was made between 1974 and 1977, which makes it the latest model in that particular range. This site might help:

The A77 tape recorder is perhaps the panzer of open reels. It is very heavily built and well designed. It is a 3 motor machine, with both capstan and reel motors being direct drive, so the only belt is a counter belt. These are large reel capable and record and play in only one direction. Revox strove for performance and reliability rather than bells and whistles like auto reverse and such. The A77 came in quarter track or half track and could be ordered with various speed configurations, the most common being 3 3/4 ips (9,5 cm/sec) and 7 1/2 ips (19 cm/sec), though machines with 1 7/8 ips (4,75 cm/sec) or 15 ips (38 cm/sec) capability do show up. These have very few electronic failures, so the most important components to be sure of on one of these is how much headwear there is and the condition of the brake hubs and bands. They have an optical auto stop which requires an incandescent bulb, which sometimes burns out. If an A77 is found with little wear, but with much time elapsed since last service, they need the usual restoration work minus the belt and tire replacement required by certain other machines. After such work is done, they are very reliable and perform beautifully. Parts have generally been expensive but available in our recent experience. This machine is a very good performer in home, and has the durability to put up with heavy or professional use if desired.
