Revox Straight Line Turntables

Does anyone know whether the Revox H-9, B-297, etc. have a built in phone preamp and if so, whether and how it can be disconnected?

Generally, I don't know of any turntable from this era that had built in phono sections. Excluding all-in-one units (turntable, pre, speakers in a case) these were always expected outside of the turntable.

Most info appears to be in German, guessing it doesn't have a built in phonoamp. Being German, maybe a little "better" or equal to a Pioneer "rack" unit from the same period.

Quite the collector's item today. I don't know the answer on the Revox tables, either. I'd suggest The Vintage Knob or just do an open web search for the models- you should see some specs and details. The arm reminded me of the Rabco with the chain drive.
