Lomo's Beautiful Soviet-Era Tape Recorder

In which I demo the Lomo KZMP-7M Rytym Reporter, designed in the 1980s to take on the Swiss Nagra Film Sound recorders. This is truly a high-end piece of gear and was made up to the mid-90s. My model is from 1993 and came with a lot of accessories, including a nice belt.

    The tape recorder "Ритм-Репортёр" 25Д57М" has been produced by the Leningrad enterprise "Lomo" since 1977. The tape recorder is included in the КЗМП7М reportage recording complex and is intended to be used both with the complex and autonomously for synchronous recording of sound accompaniment in off-site conditions of reportage or feature film filming. The tape recorder operates both from an autonomous power supply and from a 220 V AC network via a remote power supply.

LOMO, actually stans for - Leningradskoe Optical-Mechanical Combinat (Combinat was a sort of factory made up of several functions and divisions) PS. I missed an Olimp-004 a few years ago. My brother in law had just passed away and me and my wife was staying for a few weeks in his apartment preparing to sell it.

You remind me of my friend, Hunter, who is about your age, same hair, glasses. He owns a bunch of older sequencers and effects like this. When we jam, it's madness!

    9:24 but usually, the tape would be edited. On the other hand, it saves battery power, when the motor doesn't run all the time, so it's a minor disadvantage to start recording few seconds earlier. In the age of the first studio video recorders, they had to live with the need, to start recording and playback 2 minutes before, because the unit needed this time to record and playback properly, but they could deal with this, they usually have a schedule, a point where it starts. Back to this tape recorder, it seems that they are concerned about reliability and so they doesn't waste energy. There is no context, where it wouldn't be possible to start recording few seconds in advance.

    The slewing of the tape on start up sounds like a blown "start motor running capacitor" issue. It's usually a fairly straight forward replacement though with smaller tape recorders it can be a pain. It will probably be the largest capacitor and it may be leaking and stinking.
