LAST DAY!!LAST CHANCE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY AUCTION! THIS AUCTION IS FOR SET OF THREE 40+ YEAR OLD AMPEX REEL-TO-REEL TAPE RECORDER TAKE-UP REELS Reel-to-reel audio tape recording, also called open-reel recording, is magnetic tape audio recording in which the recording tape is spooled between reels. By writing the same audio signal across more tape, reel-to-reel systems give much greater fidelity at the cost of much larger tapes. In spite of the relative inconvenience and generally more expensive media, reel-to-reel systems developed in the early 1940s remained popular in audiophile settings into the 1980s and have re-established a specialist niche in the 21st century. Inexpensive reel-to-reel tape recorders were widely used for voice recording in the home and in schools, along with dedicated models expressly made for business dictation. Reel-to-reel tape was also used in early tape drives for data storage on mainframe computers and in video tape recorders. Magnetic tape was also used to record data signals from analytical instruments, beginning with the hydrogen bomb testing of the early 1950s. Ampex Data Systems Corporation is an American electronics company founded in 1944 by Alexander M. Poniatoff as a spin-off of Dalmo-Victor. The name AMPEX is an acronym, created by its founder, which stands for Alexander M. Poniatoff Excellence. Ampexs first great success was a line of reel-to-reel tape recorders developed from the German wartime Magnetophon system at the behest of Bing Crosby. Crosby invested $50,000 in a local electronics company, Ampex. Ampex quickly became a leader in audio tape technology, developing many of the analog recording formats for both music and movies that remained in use into the 1990s. Ampexs tape business was rendered obsolete during the 1990s, and the company turned to digital storage products. This auction is for a set of three 7 AMPEX reel-to-reel tape recorder 1/4 take-up reels. As you can see in the pics, two reels are empty, one reel contains a length of 1/4 tape. Condition: These reels are in very good condition for their age, near 40 years old. They are fully functional.
