Vintage Tandberg Model 74 Tube Reel to Reel Tape Deck

Description

Vintage Tandberg Model 74 Tube Reel to Reel Tape Deck
.  Bought this tape deck at a Church White Elephant.  It is in fair to good  condition.  I was able to play and record tapes on it and do fast forward and rewind. But the rewind needs a bit of help to do it.  Probably some of the grease on the mechanism has gotten a little hard.  If you have worked on these type of tape decks you probably could service it yourself.  Sound quality out of its speakers is pretty good.  I hooked it up to my stereo systems and the sounds was very good.  The other thing I noticed is that when you turn the tape deck on it needs about 15 seconds duration to warm up.  This is typical of devices that use tubes but the duration maybe due to its age.  I will include a tape with it and a blank reel.  There is a service manual for it on HiFi Engine but can send a PDF of it if you ask.  User manual is in
Norwegian
