Reel Resilience

Reel Resilience is part of AV Resilience Ltd and draws on the owner, Iain Betson's 30+ years in the professional audio/video and broadcast industries.

Trained by the BBC as a studio support engineer at Broadcasting House in London, Iain worked in the studios at BH, at the world-famous Maida Vale studios, the Corporation's Radio "Outside Broadcast" department and latterly in their chain of local radio stations.

In that time he worked on a wide range of reel-to-reel tape recorders, from professional models from Studer, Otari and Telefunken to consumer based decks such as Revox, Tandberg, Teac and Akai

Reel Resilience offers sales, service and repair of analogue open-reel tape recorders and cassette decks. In addition, we offer a service we consider unique: Online & classroom based training for owners who wish to both learn about the format and keep their machines up to spec.
