Tube Cassette Recorder


To find out more information about this or any of my other electronics projects, please visit www.freewebs.com/cameramanlink This is a cassette recorder I made that uses tubes. I believe it’s the only one of its kind in existence. It operates like any normal cassette recorder: play, record, rewind, fast forward, pause, stop. Sound comes from an external speaker or amplifier … cassette recorder homemade vacuum tube audio recording equipment electronics vintage technology sound super mario bros …

    Very good work. I love this cassette tape recorder that you built featuring tubes!

    Interesting DIY recorder, but should be more interesting with a true music recording, it’s absolutely impossible evalutate the quality of an analogic recorder by using digital sounds like those!

    Very Cool

    Check out my very own Hi MD recorder review, these days you can record CD PCM quality on a device with pro sn ratios and quality smaller than a pack of cigarettes.

    Stumbeled upon your video when doing “related-video” browsing. This one get favorite marked and 5 star rating right away. There are two words that I love to hear at the same time. One is “salvaged”, the other onw is tubes.
    Keep up the good work man!

    cool!, now make a valve VCR

  21. CameramanLink Says:

    I know the deck is crap, but that’s all I had at the time. It doesn’t even play at quite the right speed. I’ll probably change it out when I find a good one that will fit.

  22. 28019ab Says:

    interesting idea, but that deck you’re using is terrible. The sort found on low budget radio- cassettes. It’s got a crude permanent magnet erase, so you just won’t do justice to the obviously well crafted amp !

  23. CameramanLink Says:

    I wish I could, but it would take up more space than is in my entire house. And I used the Mario Bros song cause it’s cool :)

  24. stvlu733 Says:

    Maybe you should make a tube 8 bit Nintendo next. Hehe! Whats with the super mario bros tune?

  25. Jimmyhaflinger Says:

    you could make it even neater by fitting a small portable tape recorder in place of the naked mechanism
