Haha I don't believe this. As some of you may remember, I got my Otari 8 track off a local classifieds ad, and I drove into San Fransisco and got it for 100 bucks.
I did the SAME thing today, AGAIN.
This time it was 200 though. As far as I can tell, it's in perfect condition. The only problem I saw was the left tention arm was bent. I took it off, bent it back, and vuala!
It was a pain in the butt getting it, like having to email the lady that was selling it over and over and OVER. Then I had to actually drive there (I paid my friend 30 bucks to drive me there......I don't know SF at all) And that was all a little crazy. But I got it. The pinch roller needs to be rerubbered, it's sticky. No problem , terry can do it for 40 bucks.
So why did I get ANOTHER one? To sell it actually. After I bought a rhodes, I desperately needed money, and seeing I'm 17, money is SCARCE. But don't worry, the money of course will go straight to and only to recording. It's taking me FOREEVER to get decent equipment when my money suppply is so low.
I'm going to put it on ebay in a few days, I don't know wether or not I should get the pinch roller rerubbered or not. Do you think I'd be able to sell it for more if I got it rerubbered?
Just thought I'd share, seeing it's kind of a funny thing that I've run across two otari 8 tracks in the past few months......
