I have one classic Nagra III that is mostly in good, working condition. While I was inspecting this Nagra III, I discovered that the amplifier for the internal speaker is not working and have not yet been able to source a replacement. I checked the headphone jack, and it is in good working order, as is the audio output for an external speaker. I also inspected this Nagra III to make sure that it records at all speeds; that it plays back through the headphone jack; that the modulometer works in all of its functions; that the pilotone flag and speed and power flag are working; and that the rewind, playback, and recording controls work properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/03-nagra-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2250\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/03-nagra-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nagra III Analog Portable Reel to Reel Audio Tape Recorder\" class=\"wp-image-2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/03-nagra-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/03-nagra-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/03-nagra-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/03-nagra-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/03-nagra-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/04-nagra-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2251\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/04-nagra-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nagra III Analog Portable Reel to Reel Audio Tape Recorder\" class=\"wp-image-2251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/04-nagra-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/04-nagra-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/04-nagra-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/04-nagra-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/04-nagra-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I also have a lovely Nagra 4.2 that is in excellent used condition. I have done all of the same tests to make sure that it records on both channels and at all speeds; that it plays back through both the headphone jack and the internal speaker; that the modulometer works in all of its functions; that the pilotone flag and speed and power flag are working; and that the rewind, playback, and recording controls work properly. This unit is in wonderful condition. I only have personal experience using a Nagra III, so I am not sure what the difference is between the Nagra IV-L that we talked about last week and this Nagra 4.2. If any of you sound people out there know, please share it with us!
