ITAM 16 track - another obscure deck on ebay

[jpmorris]

This is something you don't see often:
ITAM 16 Track Tape Machine | eBay

A 1" 16-track machine made in London. While the seller says it's made from bits of Revox A77, I think that only applies to the 1/2" 8-track machine from the early 70s. AFAIK the 16-track machine was designed from the ground up, though it may be a rebadged Trident or something, I'm not sure.

Hey JP,

I think I'd prefer this:

Otari MTR-90 Mk II - 24 Track Reel To Reel Analogue Tape Recorder | eBay

That's if I didn't have two fully renovated Fostex G24S machines (re-capped / new heads/ full alignment) awaiting to be put into service.....
