Remarks[edit]
English handmade machine from the 70s. This machine is a Dolby (R) version. All supporting components are made of solid aluminium, but nevertheless this Logic 7, like all Ferrographs, is very heavy at 26Kg.
The Logic 7 offers four speeds, three of which are directly selectable (7.5, 19 and 38). Ferrograph Logic 7 is designed as a 3-head machine, where the recording can basically be levelled to the "original" by the front panel mounted adjustment knobs. This machine is a half-track machine, although a four-track version is also said to be available. All inputs, as well as all outputs are designed as 6.3 mm jacks, which are connected to ground via internal contacts without being switched. Thus, the term "open inputs or outputs" is not encountered at Ferrograph, but is unfortunately unavoidable with fashionable RCA connections.
Rubber parts[edit]
Due to age, the rubber parts of these machines decompose. Especially the capstan roller and 3 pressure rollers. Since there is up-to-date again the possibility to vulcanize these on the original cores again, this is also with this machine as well. For example DAVE DURRANT (david.durrant@btinternet.com) from England offers a convincing service with very good results. To re-vulcanize all four wheels at Dave, this service costs about 70 EURO incl. shipping.
