Hi all.
I recently acquired a nice 1200 Report Synchro deck, complete with black carry case.
It had a few issues that I have since fixed.
Bad battery leakage in the battery compartment, a missing small spring, dirty heads etc.
The overall condition of the unit is very good, but I don't think it was looked after too well as the capstan and playback head in particular were very dirty.
All belts appear to be still ok, and the pinch roller too.
Anyway, after a good cleaning, it plays & records very well. the sound quality through headphones is excellent.
I can now also play all my mono music Nagra tapes on it ! (I don't have the Nagra deck any more unfortunately).
Plus record some audio from my family. I have owned several Uher Report decks in the past, most of which were faulty & never got working.
The best one I had was the brand new Report Monitor 4000, very nice machine indeed.
I suspect these 1200 Report Synchro decks are harder to come by, and much fewer of these models were made ?
The S/N of my one is 1114 02543
