The auto stop delay on your Ferrograph Series 7 is part of the design - it's so that slight tape overspill when starting on the higher speed setting doesn't trip the auto stop.

Thanks so much. I got Geoff to disable the delay and haven’t had issue. I managed to get a Super Seven but it’s quarter track. If anyone wants to swap for half track heads I’d be interested

Beautiful machines. I wonder how difficult it would be to get into reel tape music for a complete novice that has only operated cassette tapes and vinyl recordings long ago... I need to check how disastrously expensive these devices are nowadays.

There's a lot of tape around with interesting recordings kzread.info/dash/bejne/e2Vlw6Z7gKjIp7g.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4lo3LyPj9Keqbg.html might be of interest. Many people put vinyl discs onto tape, often with astounding quality. Other mystery recordings of live concerts can be gems such as kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaSFqbuee7DWYLw.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2uftaR_Y6ywcZc.html which was rescued from a DAT tape.
