Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:7032425 | Brand: Revox |
This is a Revox PR99 MKIII reel-to-reel player/recorder in good condition but needing some TLC! This is the 7.5 / 15 IPS version.
I have been playing with this unit and have noticed the following issues:
The Channel 1 Meter light is out (but both meters work)The tip of the Ready/Safe switch on the right hand side is missing, though the switch itself works and can still be easily moved with my thumb and very little effort.Some minor scuffs from previous useI only have one ta...pe (not included) which was labled 7 1/2 IPS. When I played it and selected 7 1/2 on the front panel, it played much too fast so I am assuming the tape was labeled correctly and that this unit MAY HAVE A MOTOR ISSUE. Pinch roller needs to be replacedThere seem to be 2 screws missing on the front reel mounts.The following tests have been done and seem to be working:
Fast forward and reverse work very well and the brakes seem to function as they should.Audio is present and does sound good and clear in both channels (even though I heard it at the wrong speed)Overall cosmetic shape is reasonably good, the unit does not seem to have been abused. See the pictures and judge for yourself. Level controls workThe LED counter works and has no missing (burned out) segmentsWith the exception of the one switch mentioned above, all other switches and buttons are present and in good condition.I have NOT tested any recording functions.
The unit comes with the following accessories and repair items:3 NOS Pinch RollersOriginal Revox takeup reel2 circuit board cards (unknown if they work)5 original Studer/Revox tape head cleaning kits (some items missing, some head cleaner has leaked - One kit appears never used, mint with no leakage)2 NOS Switches, Studer part number 55.03.01291 NOS plug housing - Studer part number 20.020.303.05Ribbon cables as pictured1 NOS Thrust Bearing - Studer part number 1.021.166.00Other small miscellaneous items, please see pictures. It is possible some of the small misc. items are not specifically for the PR99, I am not sure
With some care and minor restoration (probably just one motor, one meter bulb and one switch) this unit could really be made to shine! However please consider this unit absolutely AS-IS VINTAGE EQUIPMENT with no returns.
This unit is quite heavy. It will be professionally packed by the UPS store and shipped via UPS ground with full insurance. Packing and shipping will unfortunately not be cheap, so please consider the shipping cost when bidding.
