EMI BTR/2

There we have an EMI BTR-2 reel to reel tape recorder for sale, instantly known for their role in the recordings of "the Beetles" in abbey road and that these machines where used from the early 50's and onwards internationally throughout the EMI worldwide studios and lets not forget the BBC who ordered thousands of these recorders as they were quite literally, the best money could buy!

I'm reluctantly offering this one machine for sale as I get asked many times, so basically if you are interested, send me an email with your best offers.

This is the overall of the recorder, there is no lid, no PPM driver (as it has a VU meter) and no P.A module ( both where optional extras when the machines were sold new)

The machine powers up and the tape transport works

the record and oscillator circuit is currently missing 2 X KT66

The record power supply works

The replay Amp PSU works as it should
