Bought a Fostex 80.

[pbergo]

I bought a Fostex Model 80 off of ebay. It comes with 4 unopenned Ampex 456 tapes (it looks like in the picture that the boxes say 457 to me), but the add says 456.
I haven't received it yet, but the add says that it's 'mint' and saw little use in a smoke free room.

Are these pretty good machines?

This will be my first fostex.

It's costing me $195 shipped. Is that a pretty good deal?

Cool!

I should get it by maybe next Wednesday or so. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks.
