Vintage LANIER EDISETTE / VIP Model 1200 - T DICTAPHONE TRANSCRIBER VOICE RECORDER
Item History & Price
Vintage LANIER EDISETTE / VIP Model 1200-T ~ DICTAPHONE / TRANSCRIBER / VOICE RECORDER
This item seems to be in excellent used, vintage, working condition. However, I don't know how this item works, and I can't find any documentation online. The unit powers on, accepts a standard size audio cassette tape, and the tape seems to "play" and "rewind" just fine, but these are not standard controls like on a normal tape recorder.
Left to right, the buttons are: EJECT, which... is normal, but then some strange buttons on the right: ERASE, REWIND, >SCAN, <PRINT, REL. Other than Rewind, I've never seen these before.
When I tested the machine with a cassette, the buttons would move the tape around, but I couldn't really tell what it was doing. I didn't hear any audio, despite fiddling with the Volume and Tone dials on the front. There are also odd switches on the bottom: AUTO SCAN and RECALL / TIME.
The bottom line is I don't know how this device works. I can only tell you it powers on, lights up, the buttons move the tape forward and back, and that's about it. I don't know what else to test. Please consider this an AS-IS listing, so please only purchase if you know how to use this item, or can find a manual or documentation.
Or, purchase as an awesome paper-weight in your tech room! The item is a beast, measuring about 13" x 9" x 3", and weighing 10 pounds. More when properly packed for shipping. But, the item will fit in a Medium Size USPS Priority Mail box, so shipping will be reasonable.
