Welcome back to the Angelicaaudio listening room! Today, we have something absolutely extraordinary. The legendary American studio tape recorder Ampex ATR-100 just arrived, and I simply HAD to buy it immediately. This machine is in an absolutely unique, collector's condition and came with a huge amount of original accessories. The only problem? It weighs a massive 56 kilograms (over 120 lbs) and its chassis is so huge that I currently cannot even fit it through the narrow hallway into the listening room! While this analog beast is waiting for us out in the hall, we will take a detailed look at the incredible accessories and spare parts that arrived with it, and we will talk about the fascinating history of this machine—whose price in 1976 was equivalent to two brand new family cars! The Technological Revolution: Ampex ATR-100 Introduced in 1976 at the Audio Engineering Society (AES) convention in Los Angeles, this machine literally shocked the world. It was the first in the industry to feature a "Direct Drive" servo-controlled capstan transport, completely without the use of a rubber pinch roller. This brilliant innovation eliminated speed fluctuations and tape wear. The Shocking MSRP Price Tag: In 1976, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for this base model was an incredible $6,250. To put that into perspective: a brand new Ford Pinto or Chevrolet Chevette cost around $3,000 back then. So, for the price of this one tape recorder, you could easily buy two brand new cars! Adjusted for inflation, today's value of those $6,250 would be roughly $35,000. What you will see in this video: We will go through the original accessories, including the massive professional NAB Hub Adapters (used to securely mount large 10.5" studio reels onto the standard spindles), the unique Varispeed module (allowing seamless tape speed control from 0 up to a crazy 300 cm/s), and we will introduce the absolute holy grail—the interchangeable 1/2-inch magnetic head block from 1979. Among the documents, we will also look at the historical PZO KOVO export tags from 1978, proving its official journey to the former Czechoslovakia (VÚZORT).
