Nagra is the best reel-to-reel tape recorder ever made with the best of Swiss engineering that you are never likely to see again.

This machine is owned by a professional Film Production Sound Mixer / Recordist, it has been regularly service and maintained throughout its life regardless of cost, by a UK's qualified Nagra engineer.

This recorder has never been hired and is therefor is in very good condition for it age

There is minimal head wear on the machine and it just needs a set of 12 D cells or ATN power supply and a roll of tape to start recording. The machine is biased for AgfaOR Basf PER 368/468 tape and the sound quality and levels between direct and off tape are identical.

This is a full track mono recorder with 50 or 60 Hz Pilot sync, this works by recording a 50 or 60Hz pilot sync frequency in the center of the tape and the playback circuit has a pilot rejection dip filter to remove it on playback.

If you would like to record on a Nagra and playback on a non pilot recorder, remove the pilot link from the pilot socket on the right hand side of the recorder, to switch off the pilot otherwise you will hear the 50 or 60 Hz when you play the tape, if you are not sinking the tape to video or film camera you can leave the pilot link unplugged
