After a brief history of NAGRA, I show my own NAGRA T and try and try to explain how it works and give an overview of the main controls. There may be some mistakes as I am not an expert on this tape recorder. Please add any corrections or amendments in the comments, thanks.

I would not recommend working on one of these machines unless you are very competent. They are factory set and require specialist knowledge to service. That being said, there are not a lot of people/places at least in my location that could look at something like this.

A staple in many recording and post production studios, it was replaced by digital technology.

This deck feature many novel and interesting control systems.
Features like double capstan system maintained a phase locked zone over the record and playback heads.TACAL distortion control technology.
