Roberts 1055 Stereo Tube Amp Reel-to-Reel Tape Player Recorder

The Roberts 1055 Stereo Tube Amp Reel-to-Reel Tape Player Recorder is a vintage audio device that combines the functionality of a tape recorder with a stereo amplifier. Made by the brand Roberts in the United States, this model offers high-quality sound reproduction for those who appreciate the nostalgic charm of analog audio. With its unique design and capabilities, the Roberts 1055 is a sought-after collector’s item for vintage audio enthusiasts looking to experience the warmth and depth of reel-to-reel tapes. Unit powers on and does seem to partially function with switches spinning the wheels- but it does feel like it needs to be gone over with a good restoration so being sold for parts and repair. Sold as is.

1958 Roberts EL84 tube amplifier from a 90-C reference field recorder- see video

Listing is for the single ended mono el84 amplifier with 12ax7 preamplifier from a 1958 Roberts 90-c reference recorder that had mechanical issues and would not play on its own so in the video I just powered it up and pulled some tape across the head to demonstrate that it does work and without any hiss. Nice little amp for whatever you have from high fidelity mono audio to crazy cool guitar amplifier where the mic pre may come in handy. Due to the DIY nature if this type of item it is sold as is.
