He's kind of a freelance electronics engineer and he deals alot with studio's, broadcasting stations, and the like. I think he said he's been working on tape machines since the 60's. So that gives him alot of experience. He came over the other night and gave the machines a good look over. He was pretty impressed with one of them and he said the other was still not all that bad. He told me that after he sets them up I should have no problem getting at least $300-400 Canadian for them if I ever decided to let them go. Don't think I'll do that for awhile though, unless somthing realy cool comes along. Think I'll set them up with 456 it seems to be the standard and still readily available.
