Re: [ARSCLIST] European hubs
RIchard,
Studer-Revox and Otari used to sell them. Filmco in Newmarket, ON,
(just north of me) used to have some of the 10.5" S-R plates with
adapters. I don't know if he sold them all.
There is a company in Germany that sells (sold?) inexpensive plastic
adapters with a cine center (7-inch-reel) and a DIN outer. The second
part of the molded set had a DIN inside and an NAB outside. Name is Darklab
http://www.darklab-magnetics.de/Tapes/Zubehoer_03.htm
They call this IEC->AEG and AEG->NAB
Could also be Cine->DIN and DIN->NAB
I have one set--not sure if it's current production, but I'm not sure
it would last daily use in a broadcast facility.
Also the 30cm diameter may be an issue with many tape machines. For
example, they'll fit a Studer A810 and an A807 MK II but not an A807
(MK I). I don't know if they'll fit any Ampexes other than the
ATR-100. They will fit on a Sony APR-5000 (which takes 12.5" reels).
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Folks,
Seeing all the recent messages about European and German tape and
machines has reminded me to ask if anyone sells or has plans for
making an adapter for the European tape hub (with the curved
rectangular center) so the hubs can be mounted on a U. S. machine
for playback or winding. I have some really full 11-inch hubs and
find that hand-held winding gets very old very fast.
Thanks, Richard
