Nagra SN reel to reel
   

   You are looking at a very compact and precise reel to reel, one of the smallest reel to reels you can get for the professional market, designed by the best portable tape recorder manufacturer Nagra, these machines are known throughout the world not just for their sound quality but their second to none build quality. These miniature machines tape a set size of reels which can still be purchased from Nagra today, the recorders also still supported by Nagra making spares easy to get hold of.

 This recorder is sold as faulty, it is known that the speed does not stay constant, this is related to vibration, knocking the machine causes the tape to accelerate, also can make the speed become normal again, this suggests a loose connection between the servo motors Tachometer and the servo driver board. I am unable to do a recording on this as I do not have the Nagra connectors, I do not hear much from the headphones but playing the same tape on my other SN gives the same result.
