Does anyone have any info on an old mono Lafayette RK-137a Recorder?
Solid state Rectifier but one 9 pin socket and two 7 pin. My best
guess is 12ax7/12at7 ---> 2X 6aq5. Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks much,
Tony WA6LZH
Tony,
It's listed in my 1965 Lafayette catalog, but unfortunately they do not
give a tube breakdown. However, I can tell you that it was $89.50 in
the catalog,or $8.00 per month. Frequency response of 40-15000 at 7.5
ips or 40-9000 at 3.75 ips. S/N ratio of 40dB. It even has a
"Specifically Designed Heavy-Duty 6x4" PM Speaker" and came complete
with Mike, Shielded patch cords and a 7" empty reel.
