This listing is for seven vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders, from a variety of manufacturers. 


These belonged to my late-Father, who passed away in 1999. So none of these machines have been used since the 1990s and have NOT been tested. Therefore I am listing them as not working and for spares or restoration. 


The only recorder we have tried powering on is the REPS R10, as this is the recorder I remember my Dad using, when I was growing up in the 1970s. However, on switching it on it tripped our fuse box, so it would definitely need a complete overhaul and electrical safety checks. Because the REPS tripped the fuses, we haven't even tried turning on any of the others. It is possible that the other recorders weren't even working when Dad had them, as he may have bought them as not working and intended to repair them. Therefore they will all require an overhaul and safety tests before being used.


The recorders in this listing are as follows:

REPS R10

Stellaphone ST456 (with user manual)

Philips L3541

Sobell Festival

Grundig TK20

Cosser CR1604

Philips EL3538A


UPDATED 31/03/24 : Extra items added to listing (see last 2 photos). Now includes a Reps R10 instruction booklet, a Philips L3541 users manual and service guide, and a Grundig TK20 leaflet.


All of my listings are auctions, so there are no buy-it-now or best offer options.


Please note : Due to the combined weight of this collection of tape recorders, this listing is for collection in person only. The collection location is in Wiltshire. There is no option to post them.
