Ferrograph 634 disposal

[Paul Drawmer]

Not a for sale ad -

I have an Ferrograph series 6, 3 head, 1/4 track machine. Please can anyone point me towards a collector or user of such vintage kit?

[Ray Singh]

Paul,

I have been collecting this type of machine from an early age.
I have several of these now including a Civic, Grundig, Couple of Phillips, Akai and the famous N4470.

I would be keen on taking off your hands.

People will be biting your hand off if you eBayed that.

[Paul Drawmer]

Thanks for the interest and comments.
I've now listed it on eBay.

[Morningside]

I know its against the rules on here to advertise but please let us know what it sells for.

Not Drawmer as in...Drawmer, surely?

I think that you get the prize for the connection in this section of PH!
Unfortunately the connection is only in the name - which is unusual, but my Brother and I have talked to Ivor Drawmer about the family tree, and three generations back we haven't found a link yet!
Both my brother and I have been into electronics a bit in that we are both licensed radio hams (G4YFY & VE3SQU).

So no, I am not connected with that Drawmer.

For those that don't understand what I'm going on about, this link is nothing to do with me:

But if you do want world class studio electronics....

Well indeed, it's not a very common name and when you start talking about studio electronics...Actually such is the coincidence, I've a feeling I already asked you the same question some years ago now

Must have been very interesting to speak to Mr Drawmer.

[Paul Drawmer]

Could have - as we've both been on here for nearly 11 & 12 years now!

Many years ago, I sold cars in Caterham. One of my customers was a recording engineer and he was the first one to introduce me to the products of Ivor Drawmer. He showed me the racks of 'Drawmers' in his studio which was part of his home.

Back on track, the old Ferrograph is up to £50+ now. So will make a nice donation to our local hospice.

The money will go to Katherine House Hospice

More than I expected. Good cause as well.
