Description

Property of Strider Shurtliff


Lawrence “Ram Rod” Shurtliff

Sony TC-770 Reel to Reel Portable Tape Recorder, ca. 1969


Tape recorder (12 x 11 x 6’’). With two “Good Old Grateful Dead” stickers, one “Keep on Trucking” sticker, and one Rhode Island sticker.


A conveniently sized and sleek battery-powered, four-head recorder with 7-inch reels, XLR microphone connections, VU meters and noise reduction. The present model was one of the best choices of its time for easy recording live in the field. 


“Big” Steve Parish: “Ram Rod’s personal reel-to-reel sometimes used by Owsley and Bob Matthews to record live Grateful Dead shows in the late 60’s, early 70’s.”
