Just purchased a Otari MX 5050 B2HD, how can I tell if it is the 7 1/2 / 15 ips model versus the 3 1/2 / 7 1/2 ips model?
I saw another thread and someone mentioned the HD stand for high speed & direct drive motors... can anyone confirm this? Here is a video of my Otari in action...

Judging by the speed it goes around while the song is playing I am guessing it is playing at 15 ips?
10.5in. diameter reel * 3.14 (pi) = 32.97 circumference, looks like it is going at about 1 second per circumference spin therefore 32.97 inches per second = 83.7438 centimeters per second, which is like 30 ips, WHOA what am i doing wrong!!! oh yea, everything....
