Here are my Ampex ATR 102's. The back one uses a Doshi 3.0 prepro for playback updated 12/16. The front one was redone by Mike Spitz of ATR Services 8 years ago. Both have 1/4" and 1/2" headblocks. The back one also has a 1/4" 4 track stereo playback head for 4 track stereo tapes. Most of my 15ips 2 track tape collection, about 500 tapes.

There are four tape decks in this photo of my studio control room, a Revox B77 MkII half track, a Akai GX-636 quarter track, a Nakamichi CR-7A cassette deck, and a Sony DAT 60 ES.
Here I am having some fun.

The Akia GX-636 is a fine sounding quarter track machine. I don't do any live recording direct to it because the Revox B77 Mk II half track machine has superior signal to noise and greater dynamic range. I use the GX-636 primarily when someone comes to me with quarter track audition tapes they want copied to DAT or cassette for mailing purposes. It is a smooth operating reel to reel and I am fortunate to have the wired remote controls for the Akia and the Revox.

6 years ago this was my herd of RTR decks.
2 Studer A-820's, one Nagra 'T', and an ATR-102. I also had a Nagra IV-S mini deck.
to help fund my speaker (MM7) and amp (dart 458) upgrades I culled the herd to 'just' the 1/4" and 1/2" Studer A-820's. so I'm muddling by with those 2 these days.

Unfortunately, no. I didn't take a shot of another bookcase full of 15ips 2track in my main listening room, or the boxes of 7.5ips 4track tapes in storage. :-( Larry
here are the just the 2 Studers, with the King Cello tape repro to the left side.
Beautiful! Larry

Here at last. The legendary ATR-102. This is made in 1980 and is in working condition. However, the capstan has worn out its rubber so I am planning to change the capstan and the timer wheel assembly along with it. I am looking at atrservices, athon and other manufacturers, and open to suggestions.
I used to have r2r machines but this is no consumer or a prosumer machine, this is the real deal so happy. There is a learning curve in front of me but I am willing to go down that route. Getting oscilloscopes, calibration tapes etc.
Started buying hq tapes but wont be playing them until I turn this machine into its tip top condition.
