Tandberg Båndopptaker Type 2

The Tandberg Båndopptaker Type 2, introduced in 1954, is a classic reel-to-reel tape recorder that brought professional-grade audio recording to homes with its Norwegian craftsmanship. Produced until 1961, it was offered in four versions: Model 2 (base), 2T (with counter), 2F (with foot-pedal remote control), and 2 Hi-Fi (three speeds for enhanced audio clarity). This half-track mono recorder features two heads (record/playback and erase), supports 7” reels, and operates at 1⅞ and 3¾ ips (with 7½ ips added in the 2 Hi-Fi). Its valve-based electronics (EF804, ECC83, EL84, EM71) deliver 3 watts of audio output through a 7” x ව
