Can anyone recogise this and say what it is?



Well it clearly a reel to reel (probably) quarter track tape recorder
with built-in amplifers. However the type of diagram is quite specific
in that it has a component map at the top, and a quick bit of Googling
of diagrams of all of the well known German manufacturers suggests it
might be Uher.


Ah! That may be an interesting clue. Thanks.

I don't recall ever seeing any Uher kit or diagrams. And - so far as I
recall - no Uher items in the anechoic chamber. However there could easily
have been some in the past which were discarded before I took over the
chamber.

The sheet has part of one corner torn off. I have been wondering if it
initially had one or more attached sheets which gave more info. e.g. What
we see looks like a tape-deck based system. But doesn't seem to have an
oscillator for bias/erasure. So maybe there were more diagrams and/or
sheets which actually identified the unit.

In the mid 1970's, Uher made a number of tape recorders,
often used by reporters and journalists, including the COI.

The model 1200 was a professional mains and battery
mono recorder with a pilot tone synchroniser to film.

The Uher 4200 was a popular stereo recorder.

There were two table models SG520 and SG 560.
