Aerovox HI-Q 9205-A Tape Degausser Cinema ENG Plant 110V 50-60Hz
The Aerovox HI-Q Division Type 9205-A is a benchtop tape degausser built for professional broadcast and cinema use. It generates a strong alternating magnetic field to erase and neutralize magnetically recorded media — including audio tape, video tape, and film — returning it to a clean, blank state. The unit was manufactured by Aerovox Corporation's HI-Q Division at their Cinema ENG Plant in Burbank, California, a facility that supplied broadcast and film production equipment during the analog tape era.
