Re: Old (tube) r to reel tube electronics

Manley Labs makes outboard tube playback electronics. They recommend Studer transport and JRF heads. Aria makes solid state electonics for Ampex ATR and there is at least one company making nuvistor boards for ATRs. See my Stellavox with vacuum tube electronics(built in the 11" by 8" Stellavox case). Heads are by JRF(John French). The circuit is based on Ampex 351 but uses subminiature tubes(6021 and 6111). The transport will run at 30 ips but is now set up for 15 ips record and play with NAB or 15 ips AME(Ampex master eq). Other pics of the electronics are on my website. The photo is a shot of the rear of the deck.
