I would like to ask an opinion about an old A77 I have just rescued, a RAI surplus machine. It's a 'fast' (19/38 cm/sec) mono full-track machine with the serial number G149406. Cosmetically it's very bad, the reel motors don't move (why? they worked when I got it....) and the lamps are all shot. I'm trying to make it work, at least to test it, so any suggestion about why the reel motors don't move are welcome.
But above all I ask you, being obviously well prepared about Revox: is this unusual machine worth saving, or is it better to dismantle it and use it for spares of my other A77s( I have three of them, plus the A700, etc)?
Any suggestion is welcome.....
Thanks and have a nice day,
