                                        „bomba” – 

adica un aparat ce poate face fericit orice colectionar  - prin vechime, prin raritate, prin starea de pastrare, prin tehnica prezentata....mai ales cand e "vanat" de vreo 7-8 ani....(singurul gasit pe ebay in acest interval)

Este ”casetofonul”  militar (probabil primul din lume) american ce folosea caseta „magazine MX-303/ANQ-1" (vezi alaturat); din spusele vanzatorului american, a rezultat ca s-a folosit pe bombardiere B-29 in al 2-lea razboi si a fost scos din uz prin 1949; constructia – specific militara – pune accentul pe calitatea materialelor + rezistenta la socuri: astfel, rezistentele sunt fixate prin infasurare pe cose si apoi lipite, 3 din cele 6 lampi sunt fixate pe pufere din cauciuc,  tot ansamblul fiind fixat pe un sasiu/soclu tip sina, cu ajutorul a 4 picioare cu bucse metalice vulcanizate in pufere de cauciuc (a carui calitate/elasticitate s-a pastrat intacta !!). Motorul, f. mare, cu max 1725 rotatii/min, e conceput a conduce role cu fir in greutate de cca. 0,4 kg , a lucra pana la temperatura de 40 gr. C si include un reductor cu roti dintate necesar derularii. (inchipuiti-va ca la acest aparat de prin 1944 suruburile de la cele 2 butoane de ebonita - volum si play/derulare - sunt cu hexagon interior de 1,4 mm pt care nu am avut scula potrivita sa le desfac !!). (Lampile se aprind, motorul misca, dar casetele au firele incurcate si nu l-am putut proba). Greutatea e pe masura- cca 18 kg, iar dimensiunile (cu soclu) sunt 36 x 34 x 23 cm.

Functional; cu schema.

 Here a "bomb" - a device that can make happy any collector - by its age, by rarity, by the shape  of preservation, by the technique presented ...especially when it is watched for almost 7-8 years....

It is an  US military reproducer-recorder unit (probably the first in the world)  which used the ”magazine MX-303 / ANQ-1" (see attached) ; it was  mounted on the B-29 bomber in the second war and was put out of use in ca. 1949;  construction - specific military - emphasis on the quality of the materials + resistance to shocks: thus, the resistors  are fastened by wrapping and then glued, 3 of the 6 lamps are fixed to the rubber bushings , the whole assembly being mounted on a chassis / socket base, with a 4-foot, rubber-coated metallic bushing (the quality /elasticity of which was kept intact!).  The large engine, with a maximum of 1725 rpm, conceived  for to  drive wire role with a weight of about 0.4 kg and a dust up to a temperature of 40 gr. C; it includes a gear reducer for to rewind. (The lamps are lighted, the engine is moving, but the cassettes  have twisted wires  and I could not prove it). The weight is about 18 kg and the dimensions (with the socket) are 36 x 34 x 23 cm.
