I have a Department of Defense (military) AN/THN-21B Recorder-Reproducer
Set,
Sound (Task MDA904-79-C-0581) which is not for sale but I have seen others
at
flea markets so is somewhat available on the surplus market.
It is a four track-four channel 1/4" machine that takes 10-1/2" reels and
has
every standard speed from 15/16 "/s to 15 "/s. It weighs 90 lb.!
I would very much like to find the manuals for it; so far the military
manuals dealers have not been able to help. Any leads?
