The current look for modified units. This is just one thing that sets our Ti Modified preamps apart from units just removed from a Roberts/Akai tape deck.

As with current models, knobs and VU meter designs will vary depending on the original unit (see below for variations). If you're trading up, you may not be able to get one that exactly matches your current one immediately, you may have to wait or take a different one. The unit pictured here is the more "modern" looking square VU meter.

These preamps are modified versions of the Roberts 720, 770, and Akai M-7/8 tube preamps found in early 1960s tape recorders.
