Interestingly, this recorder was initially acquired by Phantom to be provided to the movie company making the new Howard Hughes film Aviator (2003).  They went with a Brush Sound Mirror recorder instead.

Subject: Motion picture props

Hello,
My name is Montgomery Pollack. I own a Motion Picture prop house in Los Angeles Ca. We are working on a new film to be directed by Martin Scorcese, starring Leonardo DeCaprio. It is called "The Aviator" It is about Howard Hughes love of flight. There is a scene picture of magnecorder M30, M33 in portable casethat has Hughes using a reel to reel tape recorder in 1947. The director has requested a Rangertone or a Magnecord, Magnetophon or a Ampex 200A. I need to purchase this items. Do you have or know of anybody who might have such an item. It needs to work and be in very good condition. I can be flexible in my timeline. I can use any reel to reel recorder from 1947-1950. If I cannot find such a beast we will just use a Webster wire recorder. Any information would be extremely helpful.

Thank you
Monty

A Unique AkaiStereo Terecorder AkaiStereoTerecorder in Phantom Productions' vintage reel tape recorder collection

Akai produced over 100 models of reel to reel tape recorders.  This is one we had not seen previously.  When stereo came along, it looks like Akai created their first stereo recorder by adding a 2 track head, stereo outputs and a second smaller unit to house the second channel electronics and speaker.  This unit has a switchable head to go from Full track to two channel Half track (stereo).  Pretty cool unit.  Interesting styling.

Akai • Roberts • Rheem • Califone

early Roberts reel tape recorder logo in Phantom productions' vintage reel tape recorder collection.Roberts provided good solid reel tape recorders in the semi-pro class during the late 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's.  They had an interesting evolution including this original Roberts logo (right) which we photographed on one of our earliest Roberts models.  The logo very much resembled the Rolls Royce logo. Here's the first Roberts tape recorder ad we've come across from 1958 using that RR logo.  This one was soon replaced by the crown over the name Roberts.  We've seen various stories about the styling of early Akai/Roberts that closely resembles the Ampex 600.   One source speculates that Ampex engineers had joined with Akai and Rheem/Roberts. Others relate that it was just a popular functional style that was copied.  The Akai > Rheem  > Roberts  > Califone story  has many interesting and intriguing versions.  Our collection includes a few of the Roberts/Akai twins (recorders that were virtually identical, but tagged differently).  The name "Roberts" allegedly came from Robert Metzner and Robert Margolis who worked together.  However, Robert Metzner owned the Roberts company and its Educational Products Division was named Califone.  These companies were bought by Rheem Manufacturing (which interestingly does not mention tape recorders on its history/about page).  A friend of ours briefly worked at Rheem's NY HQ, but was unable to find any records regarding their tape recording years. This may have been because the recorder component of Rheem was based in CA.. The Roberts Akai relationship allegedly arose from Akai turntable motors that came to the attention of Califone and the relationship evolved into Akai manufacturing the Roberts components.  Please note the story from Billboard below which details an agreement allowing Akai to market their recorders along with Roberts in the US in 1971.  Prior to that time Akai was not available for sale in the US due to the Akai Roberts distribution agreement with Roberts/Rheem (also note Akai ad below from June 1,1971.)  See also.

We provide some of the many versions of the Roberts/Rheem/Califone logos below.

picture of Rheem Califone 73-T reel tape recorderYes...this Rheem Califone 73-T really is from the Rheem Manufacturing Co.   At some point Rheem bought Roberts and distributed the Akai built tape recorders. 1971 Akai ad announcing that they would now be able to

Califone International Inc., 1145 Arroyo Avenue, San Fernando, CA 91340. Founded in 1946 as the educational products division of Robert Metzner’s Roberts Electronics with reel to reel tape recorders.

Other references - Billboard July 3, 1971 - "Akai America will introduce a full line of tape players Sunday (27) at the Consumer Electronics Show,  The Califone-Roberts division of Rheem Manufacturing Co. has entered into an agreement with Akai Electric Co., Ltd. of Japan that will allow certain tape products to be sold in the U.S. under both the Roberts and Akai brand names.  Under terms of the agreement, Roberts will continue to market the major part of the Akai made products under the Roberts lab on an exclusive basis. "The benefits to both parties this new agreement are numerous and mutually desired,." said Roberts president C.R.Phillips (from 1974 to 1985, Mr. Phillips was Executive Vice President and Director of Akai America, Ltd., a consumer electronics company. Prior to that he was President of Califone-Roberts Division of Rheem Manufacturing Company. Mr.Phillips received a B.A. from Pepperdine College, Los Angeles, California with emphasis on Business and Speech Education, in 1956.).  The agreement enables Akai America, the U.S. subsidiary Akai Electronics, to market tape equipment which has been denied under a previous Akai-Roberts contract.  Akai has been limited to marketing its 1/4 inch videotape player.

Speaking of Roberts...how about this conversion of a Roberts 997 to play an iPod by W. B. Morton

Roberts 997 reel tape recorder  iPod conversion Roberts 997 reel tape recorder  iPod conversion  Roberts 997 reel tape recorder  iPod conversion

(summary from ebay listing used with permission from W.B. Morton)  Here is a Roberts Model 997 Reel to Reel deck that has been repurposed to play music files via a universal iPod docking station.  Past meets present!  Plays loud enough for a small office, dorm room etc.  I played an iPod and CD player through the mic inputs and everything sounded fine although there is some distortion if the volume is turned all the way up.

The Roberts 997 tape transport and record/play heads were in terrible shape, so the following was done to put the separate right and left single ended amps to work (and make the resulting case look better):

1.  Removed the reel motor and associated drive wheels.
2.  Remove forward/reverse link mechanisms.
3.  Keep the play/record and forward/reverse switches in place for any future experimental tinkering.
4.  Kept the link arm connecting the play/record switch to the sliding switches on the separate amps (again for any future experimenting).
5.  Lock the amp sliding switches in place in order to fix the amps into the 'play' position.  This can be easily undone if the link arm is to be enabled again.
6.  Removed the 6267 (preamp) and 6AR5 (bias oscillator) tubes - not needed for current purposes.
7.  Replaced the 12AD7 dual triodes in each channel with 12AU7 tubes.  The original dual triodes were bad anyway and the 12AU7's work just dandy.
8.  Pulled all of the exterior textured vinyl covering off (no easy task) and covered the exterior with linoleum for a smooth surface.
9.  Painted the exterior and body panels with black wrinkle-finish paint.
10. Painted the interior of the cover with regular black spray paint.
11. Added a hinged fold-down shelf to the front of the chassis (where the reels were).  This is where the iPod dock is placed when in use.
12.  Added a 3-prong power receptacle and moved the fuse to the back panel.
13.  Added a double throw switch to allow earth grounded operation or to simulate historical 2-prong operation.  The 'up' position connects earth ground and power, the 'down' position connects only power, the center position disconnects both power and ground.  The 'down' position will avoid ground loops depending on what other equipment may be used as a source and how that equipment is connected to earth ground itself.
14.  Installed a duplex wall socket inside the chassis to accommodate power connection to the iPod dock via its USB power adaptor and to apply power to the amps.
15.  Kept the internal speakers in place.  Just for fun.
16.  Kept the external speaker connection plate on the right side of the chassis.  Just for more fun.
17.  Kept the external doors for the internal speakers in place as the cavity behind each door is just large enough to hold the iPod dock and remote control when the unit is not in use.
18.  Attached an iPod holder to the inside of the cover (the white thing inside the cover in the pictures).  The sides of the holder are adjustable to securely hold various iPod models.
19.  The front cover door is detachable just as it was when the unit was originally built.

The lucky winner of the auction will receive the repurposed player, a universal iPod dock (Apple part number MB125G/B including USB power adaptor, various cradle adaptors, remote), power cord, and coax cables to connect the 1/4" speaker out jacks to your speakers.  For the input connections, RCA to 1/4" jack adaptors are included.  I will also send the two 6267 tubes (tested marginally ok, each has a rubber damper) as well as the 6AR5 tube just in case further experimentation will be done.   by W. B. Morton
