Revox A77 Reel to Reel Revox A77 mkIV . This info is from original sale “This is a well-cared for unit that has spent the past decade or more undisturbed in a storage cupboard. Everything works, except the rev counter (broken small belt) and the little light in one VU meter. The plexiglass cover has some scuffs and scratches; otherwise, cosmetic condition is hard to fault. “ It really is in very nice condition . The unit came with no adaptors so I purchased 2x new nab adaptors - they are included in sale . I purchased this on a whim as it was such a good price ; ) . Only reason it can’t be au
Condition is unknown, so this sits more as a buy-on-inspection than a blind bargain—but at A$850 it’s still only modestly above the A$605 median and well below the A$1,351 75th percentile for recent AUD comparables, so the price reads fair to slightly firm rather than ambitious.
That makes sense for a well-regarded vintage open-reel machine: these are sought after for their solid transport, straightforward servicing, and the satisfying analogue presentation that still holds up for playback and tape-hobby use. The upside is greatest if it’s complete, cosmetically tidy, and recently serviced; the main things to check are speed stability, head wear, brakes, and whether any missing NAB hubs, reels, or documentation are included, since those details matter more than the asking price here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Revox traces its origins to 1948 in Herisau, Switzerland, when Willi Studer founded his company as a workshop for electronic equipment, initially producing high-voltage oscilloscopes and early reel-to-reel tape machines under the Dynavox name. By 1951, Studer launched the first Revox-branded recorder, the T26, marking the brand's entry into premium consumer audio while reserving the Studer name for professional studio gear. This Swiss precision engineering heritage propelled Revox through decades of innovation, from the iconic A77 tape deck in 1977—paired with matching amplifiers, tuners, and turntables—to speaker development starting with the AX series in the 1970s, all designed to deliver studio-grade fidelity to discerning home listeners.
The brand's product focus centered on high-end analog playback, excelling in reel-to-reel tape recorders like the legendary A77 and B77, which became staples for audiophiles. Revox expanded into complete hi-fi systems, including integrated amplifiers, FM tuners, turntables sourced from partners like Thorens, and loudspeakers manufactured in their Black Forest facilities. While digital components like DACs and modern streaming gear emerged later, the core legacy remains in meticulously engineered tape machines and matched system components that prioritized sonic purity over mass-market appeal.
Today, Revox holds a revered position as a high-end vintage icon and collector's favorite, synonymous with uncompromising Swiss build quality and studio-derived performance. Though separated from Studer in 1994, the brand endures as a niche boutique force, recently reviving reel-to-reel production in 2016 with partners like Horch House, appealing to purists who value heritage engineering in an era of digital convenience.
