| With all respect to Lyrec - the Fred was never 
designed as a tape machine for transfer purposes. It was specifically designed 
for editing in a quickly. One of it's main selling points was, that it had no 
pressure roller and was therefore easy to lace. This has the down side, that the 
tape speed regulation is very poor - which is fine for it's intended use. If my 
memory serves me correctly, it doesn't even have a line output - just 
headphones.   Kind regards   James Downing

  PM Subject: [ARSCLIST] Lytec FRED Dear Group,
 I have been searching for a Lytec Fred to 
  lease or purchase so that I could transfer about 120 quarter inch audiotapes 
  that I recorded about 15 years ago.  They all squeak.  I am 
  interested in a Lytec Fred because another member of the group recommended 
  that it would allow me to transfer these tapes without causing residue on the 
  heads and squeak.  Does anyone know where one exists in the United 
  States?  Thank you in advance,
 David Hoffman
