ENGL:EXTREMELY RARE Studer Revox Dynavox T-26 Reel to Reel Tape Recorder, in excellent working condition. Only 500 made (worldwide).The Machine was only used at home and its done its job since the day it arrived.In a tape speed of 19 cm / s (7.5 ips) a play time of 60 minutes was possible with the devices. The operation was performed via a central control switch and the meter via a "magic eye". The approximately 18 Kg (40 lbs) heavy equipment possessed via an output power of four watts, a power consumption of 80 watts and were very easy to use.The Dynavox, or ReVox T26 had only one speed, 7 1/2 i.p.s.(19cm/sec.), and operated in the full track mode to ensure optimum dynamic range and the lowest possible background noise from the rather poor tape available at that time. Appreciating this need for long, uninterrupted playing times, the machine was designed to accommodate 25 cm.(10") spools from the start.Local Pickup would be the best for the machine, as its a heavy unit and shipping may cause some damage. Apart from that, shipping is also doable. GERMAN: Zum Verkauf steht eine äußerst seltene T26 Studer Revox Dynavox T-26 Bandmaschine. Ein derartig gut erhaltenes Exemplar ist quasi gar nicht mehr zu finden und ist nahezu Museumsreif.Unübersehbares Merkmal des T26 waren deshalb schon damals – neben dem typischen lindgrünen Holzgehäuse – die großen Spulen (24cm Durchmesser), die fast 731m Band fassen konnten und eine ununterbrochene Spieldauer von einer Stunde erlaubten.Das T26 ist ein 1-Motoren-Gerät und lief mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 19,05 cm/s. Mit seinen fünf Verstärkerröhren und einem Gesamtgewicht von 18 Kg handelte es sich um eine äußerst stabile Konstruktion.Baujahr: 1951: Revox T26 – das erste Tonbandgerät mit dem Namen RevoxVoltage: 110-220V50HzDie Bandmaschine kann gern vor Ort begutachtet werden. Hier gibt es ein Stück Audio Geschichte zu erwerben. Daher bitte ich auch um realistische Preisvorstellungen. Ein Beispiel der letztverkauften T26 gibt es auf Reverb.com zu sehen.Ein Versand ist prinzipiell möglich. Ich rate aber eher davon ab und würde sie gerne in gute neue Hände geben.Da es sich aber um einen Privatverkauf handelt, kann ich keinerlei Haftung im Sinne des EU-Rechts übernehmen. Privatverkauf, keine Gewährleistung, keine Garantie und Rückgabe.
This is a fair ask, leaning a touch ambitious only because the market is thin and the condition is unknown. A recent used listing around US$3,121 suggests the current asking price of US$3,126 is basically right on top of the going rate, while another example has sold/listed much lower, so there’s no clear bargain premium here.
What makes it interesting is the T26’s early Studer/Revox pedigree: it’s a scarce, early-1950s tube machine with serious build quality, big-reel capability, and genuine collector appeal. If it’s complete, serviced, and cosmetically clean, that can justify strong money; the real upside is owning a historically important deck that still looks and feels special in a room. At this level, though, I’d want proof of health, originality, and any included accessories before paying full ask.
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.
