[WTD] Revox B77 Mk ii 15ips 2 track

[Bartman]

I’m looking for a nice R2R machine principally to record Radio 3 lunchtime concerts when I’m working for playback in the evening. I think a 10.5” reel is necessary to get a >45m programme recorded at 15ips, but these machines also seem to have a 7 3/4 ips setting which may provide good SQ. My rudimentary research suggests a 2 track is going to better serve my needs than a 4 track. The B77 seems a reasonable machine, if getting rather old now, but happy to take advice from anyone better informed. I have considered a good Nakamichi cassette deck (I have a drawer full of TDK metal tapes still in their cellophane) but princes seem rather high and I presume SQ falls below the B77. Advice gratefully received.

If you can’t find one, I have an A77 mark IV with 7.5/15 and the rare dust cover but I am away all week so can’t send pics etc

Thank you. No hurry, I’d be pleased to see the photos when you’re back. How’s the R3?

Thanks, will do

Absolutely loving the R3, although I haven't even made it sweat yet.
