Urgent: Tascam ATR-60 / MS-16 / MSR-16 ?
Finally I came across two machines for sale in a reasonable price.
The first is a Tascam MSR-16 (16 track, 1/2", 15 ips) which is in a fairly good condition (but well used). I can get it along with a few 1/2" reels , a patchbay and all dedicated cables plus a MTC syncronizer for about 400$ .
The second, which looks like a GREAT bargain, is, listen -
Tascam ATR-60 (16 track, 1", 15/30ips) which is well maintained, and has a new head, plus a spare head, for 500$ ! (no tapes)
The choice seems much clear to me, ATR-60.
But, can you think of anything I should know before buying any of them, or does the ATR have any disadvantages that makes the MSR-16 preferable ?
And how about the Tascam MS-16 ?
(ASAP)
Thanks !!
