Thank you very Much, Mr.Bond

Hello Mr. Bond, I have to tell you another story, which one was solved also with the help of your Yellow recorder story. Apart the R2R recorders, I have another, smaller collection too, I collect the different shape audio tape cassettes and cartridges, and the recorders/players for them. Now I have information about 73 existed ever cassettes/cartridges format, and 56 of them I have in reality. Here a few of them: A few years ago, I have found in the Net two photos about an unknown (for me) player with his strange cassette, : But I couldn’t find any information at all about them. And now, when I’ve read again your story about the yellow recorder, and have seen again the photo in “New scientist”, I’ve realised that they were also a CIA production. Later I’ve found them in in your collection. (May be the photos above were yours?) Mr.Bond, Could you make me a favour? Could you post a comon photo about this cassette used in this MC2 together with a compact cassette? (For the comparison)

About the soviet covert recorders: I have the photos almost all of them, but in the reality I have four of them: The most interesting the L60M twin reel-to-reel recorder, probably to make recordw withot any pause. The secon is the Elektronika compact-casette recorder, which one probably is a copy of a Japon Walkman, but with metal body and special connectors. I have also Jahta - copy of the Nagra SNST, and the Mezon wire recorders too:

About the similarity of the Russian Recorders to the western one: The Ritm Reporter and the Stellavox: The Ritm 320 an the Nagra IVsj: The Ritm and the Perfectone EP6A: And the Jauza 20 and the Uher 4000:

Hello Mr. Bond The answer for your question: yes, I have the yellow mark on Evershed:

Hello Mr. Bond, and everybody, First of all, excuse me for my bad English My name Andras, I’m from Hungary. I collect “battery operated” reel-to-reel recorders. I have more than 300 pieces, but to be honest most of them are simply commercial or toy products. But of course, I have several professional field or cover recorders like Nagra, Stellavox and Sony too. There are two reasons, why I’m writing: First I’d like to say special thanks for your post in 2016 about Evershed T.704. After that I managed to buy one, also from Argentina. 😊 Second: As I had worked long time in Russia, I have many Russian recorders, even almost all of the soviet professional field recorders. So, I think, that the Ritm reporter, posted in November more similar to Stellavox, than to the Nagras, but there is a bigger soviet recorder, from the same factory: the Ritm 320, which one much more similar to Nagra IVs. Earlier there was a recorder, which was the exact copy of a Perfectone, and another one a copy of the UHERs. I wil try to post the mentioned recorders. If you are interested, I can post the photo of the other Soviet, Hungarian, Polish and East-German field recorders
