Yeah, I know, another guy whose first post is gear for sale. Sorry, that's where I'm at! I have some neat recording gear that needs a good home with someone who has more time for it than I. You know the story, kids!
So, among other things, I have some pro tape gear for sale. I'm in central Missouri area. You can send me a PM or email (ofajen@socket.net) to discuss, if you have any interest in any of the gear mentioned here. I can email you pictures, too. I have a lot of parts, some of which i may have neglected to mention, so feel free to ask.
3M decks:
M-56 1" 8 track in solid working condition. I'm asking $800 plus shipping. I've used this machine off and on over the last six years or so and it sounds astounding, as 3M decks usually do. The heads still have a lot of life left. It has the usual assortment of small, niggly defects: some remote lamps are burned out and i broke a switch on the remote (i have spares for all these but haven't made the time to make the fixes). I have many spare audio cards, a spare flywheel, belts, a capstan motor, etc. I have a complete manual for the M-56 series.
M-79 1/2"4 track and 1/4" 2 track, both in solid working condition. I'm asking $450 for the 4-track and $400 for the 2-track. The M-79s came, through a friend in Tulsa, from Oral Roberts University. The 4 track works well, but one audio card is noisy recording at 30 ips ( i have six spare audio cards available for the M-79, so i'm sure i could find another one that works at both speeds ) I have a complete manual for the M-79 series. I also have a nearly complete spare 1/2" M-79 transport with 4-track heads. I'm asking $200 for the spare transport. The M-79 2 track is in superb condition with no known issues. Good life left on all the heads.
also:
Ampex AG -440B 1/4" 2 track in working condition. The 2-track stack was recently checked by JRF and has very little wear at all. I have a manual for the AG-440 B series. I have a fully functional Ampex transport remote for the AG-440. I'm asking $400 for the machine and $150 for the remote. I will sell the headstack only for $200 and each channel of electronics for $100.
I also have MRL calibration tapes (1/2" and 1/4"). Both are IEC1, 15 ips at 355 nWb/m. I'm asking $120 for the 1/2" tape and $60 for the 1/4".
Also, available are at least a dozen reels of unused and slightly used 3M 996 1" tape, six new reels of 1/2" BASF 468 and many reels of 1/4" BASF 911 and AMPEX 456.
