It seems to have the fourth head for ? also missing some of the "usual suspects" on the inputs. Like one line input and one mic input.
But I can't find anything on the web or at the Otari site. Otari does mention an optional "P" unit. That is a playback only Model.
OK found this;

So what does that mean Full track?

The Otari BIII-F is a full-track (Mono) record/reproduce model, which means it records one wide track across the entire width of the tape. That is, it does not record in stereo. However it has a fourth head that is 2-track (half-track) repro so you can play tapes recorded on a 2-track machine.

Beck Thanks, Not good for a mixdown unit I guess.

Out of style
Are you kidding? You can make awesome mono mixes!
Man, I would LOVE to have a full-track mono tape deck to mix down to...I can't make a good analog mix until I can get my hands on one.

Correct, it would not be suitable as a mixdown or mastering deck, unless you had a thing for pre-stereo era sound.Originally Posted by ron-e-g

Good for doing high res tape loops and tape compressor as part of a DAW - no higher resolution possible on analog tape for a single channel
Good for creating calibration tapes that you can potentially sell $$$just an idea.
Not a bad machine at all, a unique machine for sure. If you are selling it let me know. I don't need one, but i'm sure i'll find a use for it. I'm serious, let me know.

Good way to play back tapes recorded in the field on Nagra full track. Save wear and tear on the little guy and have a much easier transport to deal with.
Why would you record music on a device designed to do word processing?
