OMG the house I live in right now has those exact same old style phone jacks and theres one of them still hooked up, I had one on my room but i modernized it but i still have the old jack unit im keeping it as a vintage piece, maybe ill make a vid for yall on here that like vintage stuff, lol @ the song steely dan the one that AA5R made from a record i got the mp3, music does sound pretty horrible on this machine.
Wow, That’s really interesting!
I got to see if I can find one of these, Older stuff was made so strange “By today’s standards” It’s so fun to look at how older stuff works. I’m going to look for one of these now
Is it ok to post my reel to reel answering machine as a video response?
We got a NEW answering machine given to us years ago and I was randomly fast forwarding through the tape, about 5-10 minutes into it I heard voices and they said “Yeah you got my name you got my number so suck my you know what” and then laughter! could that have been some guys messing around at the factory??? could be!
I have an Ansafone MK 7, a big, heavy, well built answering machine, made for over a decade (late 60s to early 80s) by the British company Ansafone, i think it was also assembled in Italy and in the US
The Ansafone has a heavy duty solenoid actuated 3 motor transport, the tape is running at 1 7/8 ips and the playback quality from the aux speaker output is incredibily good, as much as a proper tape recorder running at the same speed
1:41 I lived in an old town that at one time had a buzzing style dial tone like this one but it was higher pitched it was a sine wave type one i have a wav file of it on this computer ill have to look at it and chk the frequency of it and then maybe ill put up a vid of it its pretty wierd compared to today’s standards and back them you only dialed 4 numbers to call someone wierd
you mean voice mail? i had that at one time but i got rid of it and got a vtech 5.0 ghz digital spread spectrum phone with digi. answering machine this thing is very nice
I was thinking maybe the manufacturers figure that most people now are subsribing to a digital message box service on their home phone and/or cell phone, and thus not the R&D that they should be putting into this product. I myself believe that there is still a very viable market for digital answering machines and there is much room for improvement.
i dont think so, they tend to still use the highly compressed voice only sound quality chips when there are better A/D,D/A converter chips out there and flash memory has really come down in price i dunno why they dont just use standard 11,025 wav mono and make it so you can download the messages to a pc, hell maybe even so it uses SD cards
I love how you find these strange machines so easily! I’m stuck using E-Bay to find them. Seems like you do better at yard sales. This is an odd machine, isn’t it? Love seeing the tapes inside.
Cool, that’s a very interesting, unique answering machine.
I think the recording on the loop part comes in weak because it’s de-magnetized, due to always being inside the machine. Could also be the fact that it’s been recorded over, and played multiple times over and over again.
LOL I like that old phone plug! My grandma has a phone jack like that on the outside of her house, on the back patio, AND an old phone with the plug!

Yup, those messages were on there when I got it! No telling how long ago they were recorded.
Were those messages for the people that had the unit before? I wonder how old the recording were and if those people are still living?

I don’t know head type, just some basic head. Frequency responce is probably terrible and the is plenty of WOW. A very unstable cheap setup.
wicht is the frequency response and wow flutter? type of heads? ferrite? permalloy?, sendust?

I was thinking that was a digital unit at first myself.
I wonder if they have improved the fidelity on those digital answering machines of late?
I remember the last one I had sounded like a garbled gaggle!

Very cool riki! even the calls which are on the answerphone are very interesting!
very cool I have seen this machine before .
