A unique opportunity for collectors of early recording technology: a vintage SAMAS Dico Série 7 wire recorder. Manufactured in Paris around 1950, this device represents the era before magnetic tape became the standard, using an fine ironwire to capture audio. This French-made recorder features a robust chassis with a classic burgundy leather-style finish, original control knobs with French labelling ('Puissance', 'Allumage', 'Enregistrement', 'Lecture'), and its integrated speaker. Technical Condition & Power Supply (Important): Safety First: For safety reasons and due to its age, this item is technically untested. It is sold as a collectible/decorative object or for restoration. Voltage Warning: Please note that these vintage units were originally designed for 110V/115V AC. Do not connect this device directly to a modern 230V wall socket without a proper step-down transformer, as this will cause permanent damage to the internal components. Aesthetics: The unit is in good cosmetic condition, as clearly shown in the high-resolution photographs. It has a wonderful vintage patina that would look excellent in any studio or collection.
