anthony vinyl Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Further Information: This info is from original sale. I have purchased NAB adaptors. .This is a well-cared for unit that has spent the past decade or more undisturbed in a storage cupboard. Everything works, except the rev counter (broken small belt) and the little light in one VU meter. The plexiglass cover has some scuffs and scratches; otherwise, cosmetic condition is hard to fault. Have 2 x brand new tapes that would be keen to sell also . 4
Jai Normass Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 This is a great sounding machine for someone looking to experience the amazing sound of tape without spending a fortune , and at this price it's a bargain ..
doogie44 Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 I believe this is the recording model used by BIS (and many others) to make outstanding minimalist-miked recordings for their vinyl releases--for years.

denimhunter Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Hi - is the machine factory 4 track, 31/2 and 71/2? Has it been Converted to 15 ips, 2 track? - any caps been replaced/updated? thanks
anthony vinyl Posted October 12, 2023 Author Posted October 12, 2023 Hi all I know about the machine is what was written in the original advertisement and that’s paraphrased here . Although I had a r2r as a boy I know little about them technically. This was an impulse purchase on a machine that was the right price - a bargain . I’m not going to use it . You won’t see a Studer Studer or an otari at this kind of price - well I wouldn’t think so . It is in excellent condition cosmetically . I’m just passing it on for how much it ended up costing me - well actually less by the time sna receives fee thanks for your interest anthony 1

denimhunter Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Thanks for your reply. - Looks to be a 4 track, 71/2 ips factory machine. - seems in very good condition. GLWTS

If it still exists,/hasn't fallen off there is a sticker on the little arm that moves the rubber pinch roller, just pop down the flap at the front and you'll see. Or, Its a but hard on these because of the angle but if you take a photo of the tape record or play heads we can advise. 1
anthony vinyl Posted October 13, 2023 Author Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) You are correct . There is a sticker - it’s a 4 track! Edited October 13, 2023 by anthony vinyl 1

Its one of the best 4 track commercial/domestic tape players you can get in terms of sound quality and build quality because it is a semi pro master type machine that was optioned to be a 4 track player. With new current blank tape this will out perform a Nakamishi Dragon! Edited October 13, 2023 by ENIGMA 1
ENIGMA Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 With selling tape machines, always good to let potential buyers know how many pisties it has! I'm a 2 pistie guy.
