The Scully 270 Long Play Recorder.... is the standard of excellence in automated broadcasting. Designed to run trouble-free for long periods, the 270 is an extra-rugged, heavy-duty quality reproducer. Its features include: disc brakes; transistorized, plug-in amplifiers; one-piece solid frame construction; plug-in reel hubs; automatic start torque tension control; instant access; and reversing capability.
Using 1/4" tape, the Scully 270 is a monophonic half or full-track, and stereo two or quarter-track unit. It accepts up to a 14" reel and is available at speeds of 3 3/4 & 7 1/x ips or 7 1/2 & 15 ips.
The Scully 275....a playback-only unit, was developed in answer to the industry need for a professional, solid-state, editing machine. Its reproduce-only electronics system includes a 3-watt monitor speaker amplifier. The electronics are those of the Scully 280 without VU meter and Record capability. The transport is also the standard Scully 280 with a phone jack substituted for the Record button.
