Rare Arrivox portable reel to reel recorder. Works but will need some attention to get back into usable condition. Rewind slips a little and one of the wheels rumbles a bit. The belts and wheels are available, and affordable. I can provide you more information on this if needed . I played a tape and sound came out of the little speaker. I did not do any more testing so the condition of all the other electronics is unknown. Vinyl case is in very good condition. The end of th...e strap is broken but included. Runs on 10d batteries. Power cord options are available. Battery holder is included. No tapes or empty reels are included.I'm happy to take extra pictures if you would like to see more. Sold as is no returns. I don't know much about these but I found this part on the internet. Not much else out there. The Arrivox was a souped-up Tandberg 11 portable (a bit more rugged, and with an actual footage counter). While the transport was Tandberg's, the electronics seemed dictated by Arri: Everything was super engineered, mother/daughterboard construction, very repairable and mod-able. Two XLR mic inputs and one unbalanced line. Switchable limiter and hi-pass on each mic, along with a switch for dynamic/T-powered. (I modded mine with a couple of mini transformers for low-voltage phantom, to power AKG 451-series mics). Built-in tone osc. One transformer-balanced output, switchable +4 / +8 in case you were feeding Ampex VTRs in the field. Of course it recorded pilottone, with an input socket that matched a Nagra III. Also had a "pilot OK" winking-eye indicator, and could auto-bloop. In fact, it was sort of a Nagra 3-1/2, but with all the controls on the front panel.
