When I was in Germany in 1970, a Revox rep said that

They did a really good job of that for at least 10 years.

As teenagers we dreamed of the Revox A77
but the best any of my friends could afford was an Akai
4000DS

I was talking to the Revox rep because his tech was tuning up my A77. A77s
were sold in the armed forces audio clubs (available to all with a military
ID card, including those from the UK) for under $300. I sold my A77 in
1984 to pay off the CDP 101 that pretty well ended my involvement with
analog media.
