Hi patrick. I enjoy your reel to reel blog. Question, you indicated 'two track' on autoreverse units, but I was under the impression to do auto rev it must be 4 track. Could you explain.

Hi,

I'm the owner of this blog, but I'm not Patrick :) He's a member of the reeltoreel Yahoo! group.

About "two track" isn't correct. The text says "4 tracks 2 channels heads configuration in 1/4" tape", which means that there're four tracks recorded in the tape, but only two are played at one time, so, it's a stereo configuration for each side of the tape.

If a machine would be a "two tracks two channels", this would mean that is has two tracks in all the width of the tape, so is a stereo configuration in a single side of the tape, or a mono track for each side of the tape.
