Stellavox SP7 in good cosmetic and full working condition. It records and plays back well. This is a stereo unit and most of the ones I see for sale are mono. The heads look to be in excellent shape. Sold as is. I have a video of the unit playing and rewinding. Has small lettering scratched in that is visible on the pictures I posted. Has a crack in the dust cover in the rear right corner as pictured. Comes with the original leather case and strap. It is operating on 12 AA batteries and with a remote charger made up by Charles King aka Stellavox. He also made up a set of mic input cables and I plugged my B&O stereo ribbon mic in and in worked great. I also have the din to rca cables for line in and out that works. I purchased the ARB on EBay and it works well with 7 inch reels (when you start from stop you need at least about 1/2 an inch of tape on the take up side) but I can’t get it to work properly with the 10” reels. You can email for more pics .

Description

Released in 1969, Stellavox’s new battery portable recorder, designated SP 7, measured only 3 ins. x 8½ ins. x l0½ ins. overall and weighed in at under 8 Ib. complete with tape and batteries.

A truly professional machine it was available only to studios and industrial users, but it embodied many features of great interest to all amateurs. The SP7 was on a par with the Nagra 4. The super durable chassis was made from a block of machined aluminum.  5 inch reel capacity can be extended to 10 1/4 inches with an accessory ABR 85

Battery 12 x AA 1.5v, headphone stereo/mono switchable, Quartz speed control switchable on-off on the underside of the recorder.
