 Model TN 50s analogue time/pitch changer
 Description Fascinating version of Anton Springer's early analogue time and pitch changer, made by Telefonbau und Normalzeit in Germany, probably in the late 50s. Has an old German mains plug. Not tested at all, so sold as seen. Comes with various accessories for physically interfacing with a tape recorder. Very solid and heavy, and in pretty good cosmetic condition for its age. Missing one of the feet on its adjustable legs. There's a very good article from 2020 here: https://soundandscience.net/contributor-essays/anton-springer-and-the-time-and-pitch-regulator/ - in which they say 'A few examples of Springer’s Acoustic Speed and Pitch Regulator survive, held in the Berlin musicological institute Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung, the Oskar Sala collection at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, the WDR broadcaster’s Studio for Electronic Music in Cologne, the Musikinstrumenten-Museum in Berlin, the Rai Studio of Phonology in Milan, the University of California-San Diego, and possibly the Institute of Sonology in The Hague.' Well, here's another one - and see the next lot too. Packing at VEMIA 24GBP.
