Berlant Concertone BR-1 / 1trk 1/2″ Reel-to-Reel/Recorder

[Description]

Superb Reel-to-Reel created by Berlant. Released in 1956

One of the first protable recorder that was created for field recording.

Not as popular as Ampex but well known among the studio guru!

I was lucky enough to find this superb vintage gear locally.

Both BA-1 Amplifier/Cabinet and the BR-1 Recorder is working perfectly.

As you can see in the picture, this item is in good mint condition.

It plays and record without an issue.

Exterior is beautifully finished and all the components are
