With all respect to Lyrec - the Fred was never
designed as a tape machine for transfer purposes. It was specifically designed
for editing in a quickly. One of it's main selling points was, that it had no
pressure roller and was therefore easy to lace. This has the down side, that the
tape speed regulation is very poor - which is fine for it's intended use. If my
memory serves me correctly, it doesn't even have a line output - just
headphones.
Kind regards

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Lytec FRED
Dear Group, I have been searching for a Lytec Fred to
lease or purchase so that I could transfer about 120 quarter inch audiotapes
that I recorded about 15 years ago. They all squeak. I am
interested in a Lytec Fred because another member of the group recommended
that it would allow me to transfer these tapes without causing residue on the
heads and squeak. Does anyone know where one exists in the United
States? Thank you in advance, David Hoffman veteran documentary
filmmaker. www.theHoffmancollection.com
