I'm "another "expert" windbag" apparently! 😆
Read and enjoy

We’ve had the vinyl revival, now comes the reel renaissance.

Another video for your viewing pleasure. Please excuse the less than great audio/video quality it was made in the early days and is a recording off Zoom.

It grieves me to dump it, but this 1” MRL has greater use as fly-paper.

An announcement: From the end of December 2025, Reel Resilience is, unless by special arrangment, ending repair and alignment services for all tape based formats (reel-to-reel, compact cassette, Elcaset). I will continue to provide services in this area to selected clients but with the closure of the workshop I will not be able to offer ongoing support. If you have booked your machine in already that work will be honoured as will current jobs in the workshop. The website will remain for accessory and tape sales. As yet I have not decided on the continuation of training or presentations. I thank you all for your support over the last ten years. Best wishes Iain

You know that wreck of a B77 I was working on yesterday? Well here it is today. Some transformation eh?! (And yes, it is the same machine!) It is for sale. PM for details. UK based BTW.

This B77 NS Mk1 wreck was due to be broken for parts, but I had a change of heart. Let's see how we get on in rescuing it!

A77 found with a sluggish motor. It has trouble getting to speed and when changing this in Play mode it hardly increases. MR cap changed to no great effect. So the next job is to clean the motor. And I found this. Just what do people use to lubricate the bearings on the motor?! Lard? Reel Resilience sells the correct lubricant (PDP 65) and GLY2100 for motors in later Studer products. You can find it in the Reel Resilience web shop.

When we talk about leaky caps, this is what we mean. This one is bad…very bad.
