Come to the Fair! Mayfair 1600 Tape Recorder Restoration

  • 16 years ago
Mayfair is a highly collectible brand of vintage reel to reel tape recorder. The 1600 and the 1602 are noted for minimalist simplicity of design and sleek appearance. With it's 1960's retro coloring (avocado and cream) and flash of elegance (silver metal reel platters), the machine caught the eye, if not the ear! Though the Mayfair 1600 is a rim drive tape recorder, it has a certain charm to it, not the least of which is that it only requires two batteries! As vintage electronics go, this machine is rather low tech, yet it has acceptable audio quality and ease of operation

I have a certain fondness for this little charmer. Don't know why. I just like it!

About the Title Music:

The title music to this video (which is played by a computer, not the Mayfair tape recorder) comes from the amazing Dream Angel Oracle Divination Software produced by ClydeSight Productions.

It is one of over 20 musical selections that play in the background when one is using the program. The Dream Angel Oracle is a new form of divination software, fondly referred to as "Divination for the 21st Century Soul". It helps people talk to their guardian angels and spirit guides though an interactive computer interface.
