Hi Steve,
Basically - Simples!
Take a Watkins IC400 Varispeed, chuck everything away except the tape drive and
tape path components, new Valve type heads to meazzi spacing specs.
New case with room for the extra valve electronics.
The hard part for me is the mechanics, that's why converting a Varispeed copicat
would be my idea.
echotapper.nl is a good source of tape echo specs.
