Living together with a Revox A77

The A77 is probably the best tape-recorder ever made. Using good tape like the Maxell it outperforms all recent DAD-recorders.

BUT after 30 years most electrolytic capacitors have dried out and many resistors changed their value. Record & reply heads will have to recalibrated.

There is no easy way to revise an A77, it will take months of work. And a lot of surfing the Internet to find certain original components...

But when it works as it should, there is no better recorder.
