Tascam 32-28?

Hey y'all,

I've never seen one of these before:

Anyone know anything about it? Looks like a Tascam, but it says TEAC on the head case.

It's almost certainly a TEAC 32-2B.

Oh! 2B. The ad said "28," and I couldn't read the name in the picture.

Are there many other TEAC machines that have this Tascam look? Most of the TEACs I've seen have the silver coloring as opposed to this dark Tascam gray.

Regular 32 looks almost the same, 32-B was the early version with 2 fly-wheels and 2 pinch-rollers.
Personally I think the newer 32 sounds better
