Tanberg Series 2 spares needed.
I won this item on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MEWN:IT The recorder started off for £20, didn't sell, realised for £10, again didn't sell, listed for £1 so I thought it's next step would have been the bin so I brought it. To m surprise this is not a series 3 but series 2 making it quite old. My only problem is getting the missing control knobs, I got in contact with a Tanberg reseller who told me this machine was never sold in the UK and that he could only find spares for the series 6 and above. The control knobs I need are as the same as the series 3. |

Re: Tanberg Series 2 spares needed.
Reel to Reel man.Nice aquisition.. Glad you saved it from the Bin.. If only I had more room!!!!! Can't help with the missing knobs unfortunately but for a picture of this model with the knobs have a look at The Norwegian Radio Club site. http://www.nrhf.no/nrf-TB.html Almost a complete list of Tandberg recorders most with Pics. Text is in Norwegian {Not translatable with Alta Vista} but nonetheless the Pics and dates are good. Hope this helps. Regards REELGUY

Re: Tanberg Series 2 spares needed.
Cheers for the site, still I am a strong believer that what you want is out there, just finding it. They have an email address for requesting spare parts so I have given it shot, I may get the parts from them!

Re: Tanberg Series 2 spares needed.
Success ! I sent an email to the site posted on this thread and they had the control knobs I wanted, the knobs have set me back £10 so the machine cost me £11, not bad !

Re: Tanberg Series 2 spares needed.
Hi Reel to Reel man, Thats good news re the knobs . Must keep that in mind that some spare parts are available for Tandbergs as I quite like them . I have a few older m/cs plus a TD20a which although working could do with another on/off switch as the present one sticks. Anyway Good news/.
