Is this a good deal? MCI jh110 1/4

[Talldog]

Local on CL.

I have on mid-eighties MCI JH110 1/4" deck for sale. 100% restored, working, aligned and in use now. I can deliver and verify alignment if desired.

Along with the pictures below, I have a video of it working and going through a 20hz-20khz frequency response test in record mode.

I can also provide you with an extensive list of things i did as part of the restoration process, including head adjustments (azimuth & wrap) tensions, resoldering connections- the list goes on and on.

It sounds as if it is a clean machine. How much is he asking for it?

[Talldog]

OOPs. Should have put that in. He's asking $800. He will bring it to Cleveland from Nashville himself and make sure it is up to spec.
