Author Topic: Amega Pickup recorder/dubber Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-02-2001 05:28 PM                     I have been given the enviable task of resurecting a pair of Amega dubbers/pickup recorders. Each one is a single unit in a 19" rack and it appears that it uses pilotone. The record/playback amps are about 3 units high and have a slopped front section with actual knobs for eq and gain Does anyone have a set of books for this old stuff that I can get a copy of, so I can start work on them thanks  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-02-2001 06:32 PM                     I think I threw the last two Amegas and books into the Chicago River a number of years back. Good Lord, why would anyone want a pair of these running?

These were found in the back of a warehouse in the film dept and they want to see if they can be made operational again any idea on the sync system  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-03-2001 08:31 AM                     probablt the best thing you could do is find them a cheap pair of dubbers on E-bay. Upgrading the drive system on the Amegas is a worthless venture and way too expensive. Perhaps exploring a digital tape route such as a DA-88 would be more cost effective in this case too.
