Revox A-77
[1Jul21] I seek a Revox A77 or B77.
My prefered recording method is to just leave it running while nurdling. An old 2-track would also allow two part nurdling. The Revox home recorders are the classics of their time.

A-77
The versions of the A77, from muzines, are:
| Main Features | Modifications | |
|---|---|---|
| MARK I (1967-late 1968) | Brushed aluminium front panel and shiny top cover. Grey control knobs with clear plastic skirts - legend printed on panel. Grey transport pushbuttons, VU meters only illuminated when in record mode. | None |
| MARK II (late 1968-1971) | as Mk.1 | Modified tape tension arm (now sprung instead of fixed). Tape guide between tension arm and erase head replaced with roller-bearing version (was fixed). |
| MARK III (1971-1974) | Control knobs as above but front panel now grey. Spool turntables now silver finish. Permanently illuminated VUs. | Now available as high speed version. Dolby B available on low speed only. Later MkIII fitted with improved heads giving longer life (recognisable as only one screw used to hold head to baseplate instead of two). |
| MARK IV (1974-1977) | Grey conductive finish on spool turntables (to reduce static) and crackle finish top cover. Control knobs, rotary switches and transport controls now silver finish with scale markings on grey skirt. | Apart from cosmetic changes later machines had quieter tape counter and capstan motor drive circuit using ICs instead of discrete components, giving greater varispeed variation (±80% instead of ±7%). |
