HALLEN PROFESSIONAL MAGNETIC BULK TAPE ERASER DEGAUSSER VINTAGE
15.5 x 7 x 4" including handle, feet, switch. Weighs 29 lbs.
Large enough to erase tapes shown in the pictures. (Tapes and reels NOT included)
Shown are VHS, 8MM, Cassette, 14, 10.5, 7 and 5" reels.
I don't know the maximum thickness tape it can erase, single or double side pass.
One picture with plastic cover removed shows the high power heavy duty erasing magnets.
Bulk tape... erasure requires the tape to be slowly rotated or moved about then slowly moved away
from the eraser before turning off.
To effectively erase VHS tapes, rewind to a single spool. Power eraser on, concentrate on
that full spool, slowly move back and forth changing the angle always laying flat around the
entire top. Then do the same with tape flipped over to the other side laying the VHS flat
against the eraser. When finished slowly move tape away from the eraser before turning off.
If not fully erased, you may need to do again until satisfied.
Front panel has two indicator lights, Power Switch, two 20 Amp fuses and various out of date
calibration stickers. Only one of the lights comes on when turned on. The other may be an
overheat indicator.
For intermittent duty use no longer than 10 minutes on (perhaps 10 minutes off).
INCLUDED:
3" center hole adapter.
Adapter would need 3" OD, 0.125" O-Ring replaced if used on a tape deck (Revox), but works
great with this eraser as is.
CONDITION
Outer insulation of heavy duty line cord is worn near the chassis but safe and functional.
Black Plastic cover has cracks and dents in various places especially at screws.
Cellophane tape has been placed over screws that might hit when turning reels. A new plastic
cover could be made but this original is still functional.
