Description

The F-44 Fine Line was only available for about 2 years (64-65) and was the last consumer tubed Ampex.
The big improvement in the F-44 was going to a Hysteresis motor in place of the induction motors used in older models.
Also note dual meters instead of the single switchable meter found on both the 960 and 1200 series.
A four-track, tube powered portable professional stereo recorder with two speeds (7½ & 3¾ ips) and a frequency response of 50Hz to 15kHz +-2dB.
