WEM Compicat

INFO
Another major change from the usual formula.............. a Copicat with four replay heads! Also, a combined erase/record (Z-Combo) head was fitted. A four input channel mixer completed the transformation.
 
The circuit of the Super IC was simplified by using four 741 op amps in the amplifier section and two BFY51 transistors in the bias oscillator. There is a clever economy which uses a winding on the capstan motor to generate the low voltage for the electronics. This removes the bulk of the usual mains transformer and means that the leads and footswitch can be stored in a rear compartment and makes the whole thing much neater and lighter.
