So, I'm a long time reader, and I haven't posted in a long time. But now I feel it's time to ask.
To those who own a decent sized pro, semi professional machine, I ask you, where did you get your machines, and how much did you pay? I am always looking in my local classified for something, but it is only on very rare occasions does anything tape related pop up, and if they do it's always Tascam and Fostex 4 tracks, and portastudios. You get the very occasional Studer 2 tracks, but that's it. Never any larger scale pro hi-fi 4 tracks and up type machines. SO, my search extends to ebay, a place I wouldn't want to purchase a tape machine from anyways, but I can't seem to find much of anything there either. This week I found 2 Studer a80's, and there's always a chess records ampex 4-350 on there for $12,000, but never much more. Has the worlds tape machine supply run dry? Have all the machines been bought up by the aspiring analog heads that came not to long before me?
HAVE I ANY HOPE?!....
