Thanks for the reply Anselm ! You have a very interesting Uher website, by the way.
I think going by the serial number range for the 1200 Reports that have been recorded, around 2000 of these models were produced in total perhaps ?
They appear to be a bit more than double the price of a regular 4000 series Report.
I am very happy to have this nice Uher tape deck. Is funny you know, after opening the bottom cover many times, I finally found the missing small spring that had become dislodged, the one to keep the flywheel assembly in position. Was sitting inside the bottom cover locking latch, but was not there before !
At least I found it eventually, not good to have loose parts inside the machine. I had of course already replaced this spring with a spare I had.
The one thing I don't like is the DIN type connector for the earphones & external speaker. The small switch inside this connector for the internal speaker connection is now broken, so no internal speaker operation for now. But not too big a deal, the internal speaker is not the best sounding anyway. Earphone & external speaker connection still works fine. Using an old Ampex small speaker sounds very good, but with my more modern JBL amplified speaker the audio is really fantastic. Made up some adapter cables for this.
Cheers, Chris.
