I built one in 1978 using a Commodore 64... EOM was through the Joystick 
port; I built an expansion slot card for the switcher and machine 
starts.  First attempt at a 25 Hz PLL detector, too.......

Tape decks were modified Pioneer RT-707s.  (The 707 doesn't have remote 
control; I added remote pause.  Worked, too!)

Programming was on the 1541 drive..... (Lots of POKES and PEEKS; the 
C-64 was lovely, though - it also had a REAL TIME HARDWARE CLOCK!  Only 
drawback; they didn't have any way to keep it powered up, so re-boot and 
the time had to be reset.
