Hearing old recordings is always really interesting. Hearing just everyday conversation or business related notes, it's like taking a trip into a casual event in the past.

Almazo Torres Eric Daniel

SO TRUE!

That Telefunken machine looks quite beautiful, I really like the design!

NuGanjaTron

And what an iconic logo! (6:56)

Jack Of All Trades, Master of None

I always learn something new when looking for recorders of different types. I'm in the process of rebuilding a crystal recording head using a vibrating speaker.... a real challenge, but will be interesting when I get done...my turntable is similar, but without a worm drive, it's works like a clutch...someday you'll have to come to my site to check it out...thanks for an informative video.

CoolDudeClem

That's a weird device, but still pretty cool (I find vintage audio stuff fascinating, I would also collect stuff like that if I could). This reminds of something I saw, it looked like a record player but recorded onto magnetic discs, and it has a small wheel with a spiral groove that you put in the middle of the disc and it guided the arm across. I know you said someone else has done it, but can we see your magnetic disc recorder in action anyway, just to hear how well it works? (or doesn't).

I was more curious about how a floppy disc sounds than the actual media for this machine ;) Greetings from Germany!

Greetings!!

Fromm Ferdinand

Great video, as always. Thanks for your time for reviewing these beautiful, old devices and sharing them with us. Especially the bit towards the end, where you put the floppy disk in the machine, that was a fantastic idea to hear digital data being reproduced on an analog machine. Keep up the great work! :)

databits

Thank you Fromm for your comments.

GrumpyTim

Great video, I've got a real wreck of one of these - it's had the worst battery leakage I've ever seen in anything. It must have been stored on it's side and everything on the left hand side is in a terrible state - many of the wires have literally dissolved. Luckily the play head, motor and things like that look fine. Assuming I think it's not impossible when I look at it properly, I'll post some videos of the restoration. There were lots of the discs with it - that was the main reason I bought it, and it was very cheap, and it looked like an interesting project!!!

BC Bud Records

I bought one of these today in amazing condition and was happy to find your video and hear it in action, also cool that you showed us what a floppy disc sounds like ... thank you !

databits

Very cool!

Khalid Ba

I never knew about such a device, until I saw it on a rerun of Mission Impossible (Season 1 Episode 11 Zubrovnik's Ghost). Once Briggs pulled the disk out of a sleeve, and inserted it into the device, I immediately thought "naked floppy disk"! Searching on it landed me here. Thanks for doing this video.

tino van der zwan phono cave!

there were quite a number of magnetic disc recorders made by brands as assman, timex, recordon, dimafon and many others
some were dictation devices some were answering machines and others were toys
there are even solid metal discs players were the magnetic layer on the disc is on a non removable aluminium disc very much like a hard disc in a pc some of those were used in talking vending machines
disc sizes vary from 14 inches right down to only 4 inches just enough for a '' thank you for using the Disney coin press''
materials also varied like i said there were solid metal discs but also magnetic material on wood, vulcanized rubber, celluloid, paper, plastic and even glass
magnetic disc recorders of a classified experimetal type were used in the Nasa space (mercury - apollo) program probably of the solid metal variety of which the hard disc evolved

D G

I have 2 of these machines from my dads medical practice from the 50- 80s. I havent turned them on yet or listened to any of the discs. Thanks for showing this video.

kevtris

8y↑3

the biggest problem I see is the width of the play head's track relative to the spacing of the grooves. You need a real narrow head to record/play without "running into" adjacent tracks (unless you increase the speed of the screw). A video head off a dead VCR will have a very small width and might work, though you might have to support the sides of the head to prevent it breaking, like epoxying it, then using a file or similar to smooth and shape it to match the head's curve.

CassetteMaster

This is a fascinating and amazing machine! The sound quality is quite good as well. Speaking of weird 1960s dictation formats, I have recently required a GAF "Rols" dictation machine, which is extraordinarily rare.

databits

Cool! Are you going to make a video about it?

Henri Lehto

WOW. That floppy disc sounds little like an old school acid techno-house from early 90's.🤪🎶 Would be nice to know, could this machine really store computer data, and then loaded back to computer?🧐

ObiTrev

Its certainly cool, but I wonder how practical it was. For the Auto-Repair,you would have to listen to the whole disk (or however long the recording is) to get the full work history. With a paper file system, it would far more efficient. Unless you were an executive with a secretary to make paper copies, I never fully understood the personal practicality of dictation machines.

TheKsax

8y↑1

Telefunken is awesome name for any product. Very nice find.
I think you should continue working on your own recorder, it would be interesting to see work and maybe you can try to use custom signal modulation for better audio.

databits

I've had several people suggest the same thing. I may finish it later. I'm behind on my list of videos to make!

VideyoJunkei

Did you know that the center hole of a 8" floppy exactly fits on a 45 RPM adapter!! Cool stuff....

databits

Yes I did! thanks for watching!

M Brt

I own one, never tried to operate it so far. With the help of this video, it might be possible.

Not Here

I have one of these Telefunken recording machines that I tried to fix. I have some discs I would love to hear but the repair has defeated me so far!

Jack Kraken

I wonder if it would be possible to record raw audio onto the floppy and then play it on the Telefunken? Wouldn't that be cool!!!

BilisNegra

Love this now classic video! I woke dormant memories of watching it time ago, and I know I'll come back at some point once more, even if it is a couple of years from now.

An amazing piece of history and built like a tank, but look at the circuit board, I reckon it was soldered by hand. Odd machine that I have never seen before. By the time I saw them they were a lot smaller dictating machines that you could hold in your hand. Good video and good work restoring it.
Is Telefunken still with us, I have not seen anything with that name on it for about 10years. Last thing I bought with that name was a CD/radio cassette player and that was around 10 years ago. Not of the same quality build I have to say and very plastic, but it did work and do what it was supposed to do. Imaging having to lug that thing around just to dictate a letter while on a plane! But I suppose it was still better than scribbling it onto a note book and scoring out the changes and trying to write them in somewhere else or between the lines.
You could also show it off to all your fellow passengers, until they caught up.
Strange drive system with the rubber wheel/washer type arrangement.
Never seen one before, thanks for the look inside and the demo :-)

@NuGanjaTron Yeah, but it might be somewhere in Africa, India already has its sweat shops! But you might be right, we wait to see, but it might take a while or the Chinese demand better conditions!

Telefunken is sadly history, along with many other German manufacturers (e.g. Grundig, Blaupunkt, Nordmende, SABA, Dual). The name lingers but it's basically just rebadged crap from China now. Loewe appears to be one of the few survivors, tho I suspect they only develop the firmware in their tellies now, not the hardware. :^(

There was also a school version that was on paper. To make personalized lessons for students that need more help with a lesson. Techmoan found one.

60's sounds on 33 45 & 78 rpm records

another great video thanks databits i do have 1 or 2 ider's + a questen
1 finding a blank flopppy disc putting it on your record cuter and putting you own groves in to it no sound just blank grooves and trying to do the recording againe
2 what do you do with all the recordings that you make do you keep the good ones ?
3 the unit you showed in the first part of the video would be nice to see it working and in your own why of doing it
last of all you cut records on lots of things but you have never done to a black side of a vinyl record i know there are people doin'g it on youtube but i would like to see you do it because your videos that you do are full of info and a joy to watch well this has been a long comment all most as long as the video lols
thanks for reading this and i hope it finds you well

databits

Thank you for your comments! I keep all of the recordings. I may try to get my prototype working, I just have many new already made items to showcase.

Lagib28

I think you could use the floppy data sound as theme music. It had a kind of strange rhythm near the end, and as a bonus , no copyright strikes would happen!

databits

Lagib28 I like your thinking!!

Great video as always! That "screw" you kept referencing is actually a "worm gear". :) Regards ~ Jack, VEG

Ts6451

7y↑4

Well, as it translates rotation into linear movement, it would generally be termed a "leadscrew", so screw is not really wrong in this application.

The term "worm gear" refers to the gear cut to interface with the worm in a worm drive, worm gears are used to pick off rotation, not linear movement.

Masticina Akicta

It was an interresting time, yet in the end we ended up with Tape. mini tape yes, smaller audio tapes running at slower speeds but that was the solution in the end.

These machines are fun though, the inventions around that time are pretty awesome. Even if they didn't succeeded.

Johnny Becker

Can you imagine if that same guy who recorded the auto-repair recording was watching your video today? The car he was working on was a 1970, or at least I think that is what he said so it could be 35 years since this recording was made. ||| That power supply really takes you back. I love how it said "Made in Western Germany" rather than "Made in Germany". That tells me that the Telefunken Co. did not support communism as East Germany was under communist rule at that time.

coondogtheman1234

8y↑2

Neat unit. I wonder if you could decode the data tones from the floppy disk.
Is there a way to connect this to a stereo and also record from line level sources? I imagine music would sound terrible on this unit since it's meant for voice.

And when I first saw the thumbnail for this video I thought you got a new car. this thing kind of looks like the front end of a car.

Colton Rushton

I suppose decoding would be possible through line-in recording the disk.

BertyFromDK

+databits
That last bit with the floppy diskette, when you let go of the position indicator and let it do its own thing, and it just went to the end, that is the so-called skating effect; it was a very real problem on grammophone turntables as well, and many ingenious methods were invented to overcome it. - But you probably knew that as well.

Telefunken: you are like a little baby, watch this;

Renato Donadio

I don't think that inspired CD-ROM and floppy drives that much (the first CDs were tray-loaded and obviously the floppies had the sleeve around) what was directly inspired by that was the slot loaded record player that played 45 rpm records and was the primary source for children songs and story telling records for the children of the 70's

databits

This machine also inspired me to greatness. :D

Renato Donadio

On the other hand that also inspired the RCA video disc player, it was te same exact thing only the disc was larger, was encased in the plastic sleeve and obviously there was also video encoded in it

i have one in the collection although it is still more of a parts machine but i'm sure another one will pop up some day and then i have a nice parts source the machine came with a whopping 900 discs i'm still wondering why... and as the chaotic person and hoarder that i am i i forgot where exactly they are!

tino van der zwan phono cave!

ps, mine hasn't got the battery since it was used in a car running of the cars battery (would that be a 6 volt battery?)

Keenan Finucan

On the "auto repair" disc, note how he says "number 1 engine". A quick google search for "clark gas compressor" suggests natural gas distribution equipment. Would make sense to document repairs in an industrial setting.

I’ve got exactly the same suitcase as the one in the beginning of this video

PGTMR2

What if instead of the tape head you used, you use a hard drive arm with a much smaller head.

AH AH

that battery is good stuff enviromentally friendly=)

OldProVidios

Played with one of these as a kid. Dad brought it home. I got the dog to barking. Then hit review. The playback barking caused the dog to bark more, hit record. All right there on the handle. Created a couple of minutes of dog barking before Mom took it away.

Erno Uijlenbroek

how about cutting a groove into those 8 inch floppy discs so you can actually use it on the Telefunken? Maybe they are to thin. That would be a fun experiment.

databits

Great suggestion. I tried it and the floppy discs are just too thin.

Really was obsolete even before it was introduced, poor quality, limited play time, cumbersome and complex, non portable in play. This is why there is only one. Don't think I don't love it, I do, but it was fairly useless, as Philips had just invented the compact cassette.

Unborn

This model is from 1962 the cassete was first introduced 1963 in Europe and 1964 in the US. And similiar models were build already in the 50s.

This was NOT the only one...similar units were produced in the 50's for the consumer market, at least in the USA.

Trust me, the recording quality is horrible. Nothing to evaluate.

Couldn't you erase and rerecord?
If so, that's why it's not a record.

I think you missed giving the length of time it could record on that disc.

Never heard of such a machine earlier. This format could have come up after the mechanical groove type vinyl records and reel type magnetic tapes. Other formats had the opposite. They had grooves on a reel.

Anyway interesting to learn about the machine..

"Other formats had the opposite. They had grooves on a reel." Acquainted with the Tefifon, I take it?
