ITEMS FOR SALE	DESCRIPTION	PRICE
*There are 253 electric motors in the 133 reel tape recorders in our collection.* Phantom Productions, Inc. vintage recording collection began in 1998 with a 1904 Edison cylinder player. It has since grown to the many recorders noted on this web site. We've produced a DVD tour of our vintage recording collection. There are approximately 133 reel to reel tape recorders and other unique items related to recording. This is a 2 DVD 5 hour set that also includes a brief history of sound recording and a segment on how the tape recorder works. Also we include a segment on our on-location recording work around the State of Texas. Most of the DVD is dedicated to the profile of the reel tape recorders that came available in the US in the late 1940's through the 1980's. We also include a profile of our wire recorders. While we don't go into great depth, we demonstrate the many working units and provide some base information on when they were manufactured and what they cost new.	5 Hour - 2 DVD set covering Phantom Production, Inc's vintage recording collection, a brief history of sound recording and on-location recording in Texas View a 10 minute overview of the 2 dvd 5 hour set WinMedia QuickTime RealPlayer YouTube HD Special note: Initially we have a limited number of the DVD sets.

	We are presently selling duplicate items that have been collected by our company. This is a great old 1980 Modern Recording & Music magazine featuring Smokey Robinson. It has classic ads for the Technics RS-1700, Otari and the Teac A-3440 tape recorders. Unfortunately the cover has seperated and shows some wear (see pics). We are selling the item "as is" and offer no returns nor refunds	$19.00 + s/h
EICO 2400	We're selling excess equipment. We recently acquired the EICO RP100 and so are selling this non-working 2400 unit in the collection. Cosmetically this recorder is in good shape. Two of the knobs are missing their silver insets. The tubes light up; the green light meters seem to work; the motor runs, however the play and rewind functions don't work. Even though there is a capstan belt the capstan is too stiff to allow it to turn. Unfortunately we've not had the time to work on this and so are selling it as is. As with all our vintage auctions, this recorder is being sold "as-is." Please take a look at our vintage reel to reel recording collection at reel2reeltexas.com. Thank you for considering our listing. I took a few moments to check out the Eico further. This recorder is receiving signal and recording on both channels from both microphone and line inputs. Unfortunately the stiff capstan prevented me from recording and playing properly. However, I was able to record a signal, moving the tape by hand. This unit does not have a monitor out capability. The Eico played back fine in the left channel, however not the right. The Channel A, channel B and Stereo knob had been loose on the unit. I found that this switch could not be changed (and part of the knob retainer shaft is broken), so that may, or may not be the problem with the right channel. When I moved the tape to another recorder, I found that both channels had recorded properly. This is a three motor unit and both fast winds are working. The main motor is also working perfectly. I used some light machine oil to help the stiff capstan, however it never loosened up enough to allow the motor to turn the capstan Here's an ad for the unit with more detail	$75.00 + s/h

	We are selling unused equipment and parts from our vintage recording collection. This is the bottom box from an early 1900's Edison Cylinder Player. The box and label show wear, cracks and scrapes. The retaining clips are okay. With a bit of restoration, this can be used to complete a cylinder player project. This sale is for the box only, no cylinders, nor player is included. As the box is well used, it is being sold "as is" with no returns nor refunds. Thank you for considering our listing.	$75.00 + s/h
