Additional Info

Reviews

I have rated the long term reliability at 9 simply because the company is no longer available to service or supply parts for these machines. However, Lyrec used generally available commercial industrial components in their machines so locating parts is not impossible. This particular TR55 is the 7.5/15 ips model. One of my others is the 15ips/30ips version. They could be customized to run at any two speeds and I have been able to make each of my four run at various combinations by swapping boards. The sound quality is exceptional; most of these used Woelke heads, but some later units had AMB head
