  Those roof-tops you can see in the first 2 minutes ... We got very pissed one night, so when we came out of Rizzy's (Monday night - drinks 50p) we climbed up the fire escape at the back of Sainsburys and climbed across the roofs as a 'short cut' - except the drop back down at the corner (Swifts ?) was too high so we had to go all the way back. Looking at that pitched roof above what was the co-op - I'm not sure how we made it ... ah, those were the days.

  Ingenious how the winding for the motor also served as a step down transformer to power the amplifier.

  Darren, I held such a tape recorder in my hands in 1980 and was dumbfounded by the simplicity of the cassette release/retention mechanism and thus still can't understand how and why it works like that. . This mechanism is clearly visible at 4:40. Could you make a video from the same angle slowly pressing the CASS button a few times? . Thank you very much !

  Great video! Just got one myself. Wont ff or rewind, but the mechanism inside seems to move freely. Maybe something wrong about the capstans (?). Do you know the size of the rubber belts on this one? And was it just unscrew the voltage switch? I see there are two screws on the switch - one on the top and one on the bottom. Will it make it removable so that I can accsess the cassette mechanism?

  I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I did make it longer than normal this time. It's amazing how much dust and stuff that grease attracts.

  Hi Darren, looks like the original spec from Alba was to produce a radiogram. with the lowest grade components available. The plastic BSR TT was a good start. I must admit it sounded slightly better than I thought it might.

  It's a budget gram, but did surprisingly well. The large cabinet helps I guess. Typical germanium and silicon line up of the era often found in big radios like my grundig concert boy. Good to hear from you, Michael. Daz

  It uses standard 1/4 inch tape and up to 7 inch reels. You can buy this new and various online market places that will have second hand tape. Some old tape may not be very good and will shred it's particles on the heads, but other tapes hold up well. Daz.

  You built it so I'm sure you know, but I thought the white diode visible from the horn would be the mixer diode. The iris from the Gunn cavity appears to be further in. I've been a ham for over 40-years and a couple of times wanted to fiddle with 10ghz but found that the components are scarce as chicken's teeth with prices past the Moon. So, I never did.

  I have the same unit, the play was stuck but I got it free. Problem now is the play and fast forward/rewind are slow, sometimes stopping altogether. I can feel that the two spindles that fit into the cassette holes are tighter than normal but I don't know how to remove them for cleaning. I can't find a video that shows things being re greased!!

  Hi...I know this is an old video but I was very excited to find your excellent footage of the Chinon movie recorder. Believe it or not I have 7 of these machines...5 of which have different faults. If I had your electrical expertise I might have managed to fix them. I do however have a clear understanding of how Chinon's Sound Synchro system works. I am an avid super 8 fan. As you cannot buy sound super 8 film stock anymore this little system comes into its own and it works very well indeed. You do of course need a suitable cine camera equipped with the necessary synchro socket and the correct cable to connect to the tape recorder. You also need the Chinon projector which also connects to the tape recorder via the din sockets on both devices. Fortunately I was able to find instruction manuals which give clear guidance on bow to set the whole system up once you've shot your film and recorded the synced up sound on the recorder. When the camera is connected with the special cable to the tape recorder and the tape recorder sync switch is set sync the run trigger of the camera starts and stops the tape recorder and the large red light illuminates to inform you that sound is being recorded. I hope you see this post...if you want to know anymore about the system I would be very happy to share my knowledge of how the whole system works...I think its a great sync system if you want to record true lip sync recordings to your super 8 films.Thanks so much for posting your video. Oh you mention the strange the strange record/playback head. This is to accommodate the recoding of a sound track and a sync pulse signal generated by the camera as you run it.
