Optasound 116R instruction manual needed

Post by erkanumut »

Does anyone have the Optasound 116R instruction manual?

Image

Would it be possible to scan it at high resolution. Will have it printed out.

Sincere thanks!

Hello Erkan,

there’s a 4pages leaflet on the Wiki (with each page as separate PDF):
http://super8wiki.com/index.php/Optasou ... e_recorder

I have not found anything better than this on the internet. But I hope that you can find a real manual! Good luck!

Jörg

What I don’t get:
Does this recorder use normal „compact cassettes“ (alias MCs)? Or does it use cassettes with perforated tape as shown in this article on page three?

Yes, the 116R model uses compact cassettes. No perfo magnetic film.
There is a provision for pilotone track.
The one in the article should be an earlier one. Its dated 1974.
116R was on the market in 1976.
