Anyone know if the NAB hubs from a Revox B77 PR99 will fit a Teac/Technics deck?

Are they interchangeable? There are some SWEET Revox hubs on a particular auction site I'd love to put on my Technics and Teac decks. Just want to know if they will work. They certainly LOOK like they would.

[TheReeler]

Yes, and they are much far better than the Technics ones.

Thanks, the ones on your deck in your avatar look like the ones I'm after too. Those are nice!

[TheReeler]

Yes, they are really nice. Revox and Studer did the metalic part, the plastic part is identical in the ones made by Revox and Basf. Nowadays I own three sets: one in silver, one in black and one in blue *reelspin*

There is a seller in that auction place that also sells just the metalic part for a good price, and another version of the metalic part designed maybe by him with a very different look:

Personally, I prefer the original design:

Thanks for the great post! Those are all sharp and I love the pic of your Pioneer in blue!

Hmmm, now I need to decide what color hubs to get. Silver to match an average metal reel, black to offset the average silver metal reel (or get some black reels which would be sharp with black hubs!), or, perhaps, a combo meal of BOTH colors:

I'd go for the black reels with red hubs! Very Darth Vader.

Yes.. it could be really cool!!! Must I buy a red set? *fit*

PS: Vader with his r2r deck, hehehe!!! (http://reeltoreelworld.blogspot.com/2008/03/darth-vaders-rtr-deck.html)

[joeljoel1947]

I just ordered the black and silver Revox hubs pictured above. I could not decide between black or silver so figured I'd split the difference!!!

Yes, the Vader deck you linked to is sweet! Matter of fact, that's what I call my loudspeaker system. See link and scroll down for pic:
