New Score!

[themaddog]

I just picked up a Tascam MS-16 tonight, and will be picking up a spare parts machine along with it this weekend.

The heads look like they're in good shape. The whole thing could use some serious cleaning though. The previous owner played it for me and it sounded awesome. I've ordered some GP9 on hubs and some throwaway tape from eBay so that I can get down to business with it in a week or so.

Hope all is well with everyone else, and happy new year,

You dog! Congrats on your new acquisition!

PS: Photos are mandatory of new toys so post 'em when ready.

Will do! I have to put up some pics of the new (now been a year) studio anyways.

Lucky! Nice machine, be sure to post some pics when you get it going and cleaned up.

How about before and after photos!

Nice to see more ms16 here.

Damn! How come I can never seem to come across a good deal locally?

Congrats man! I'm sure it will suck you in and make you wonder where time goes.

I've kept my eye out for years on Craigslist for one. One or two have popped up, but cost way too much for me to do anything about it, or to even go look at it.

This one cost me $800 with a spare parts machine. I'm going to be selling one of my MSR-16's to pay for it, I just hope I'll be able to sell it for what I paid for it a few years ago. I'd consider selling both MSR's, but I've just got so much 1/2" tape it doesn't seem worth it. Maybe if I'm ever able to find a 1/2" 2 track...

Congrats MD. I saw that on Boston Craigslist. Was it the one on there last week?

I wouldn't worry about it....remember..... nobody ever posts when they get ripped off!! This forum would be full of 'em if they did! HAHAHAHA
