About This Piece

Mayak was one of the best-known Soviet tape recorder brands, and its reel-to-reel decks were a familiar sight in Soviet homes. Today vintage Soviet tape recorders attract audio hobbyists who enjoy restoring analog equipment and collectors of Soviet electronics who appreciate their solid construction and distinctive industrial design. A Soviet reel to reel tape recorder that still powers on is a promising candidate for restoration, and even as a display piece it brings authentic retro character to a music room or a vintage audio collection. The included reels add value for anyone who wants to test the deck after servicing.
