More expensive format,and maintenance, but I have to say I'm pretty stoked about my recent acquistion : an OTARi MX70 1" 8track. Comes with all manuals, the autolocator, and few spare reels of tape to get started . The seller, a doctor, upgraded to a 24-trk Studer :cool: and put this and a 24...

I've had this machine for about 5 years and never put it into service, as it needs a little bit of maintenance, I didn't have a proper mixer, was still using my 464 until it bit the dust, and a few dozen other excuses. :rolleyes: So now that I've been on a campaign/binge to a$$emble a decent...

Arrived, safely, yesterday, from Toronto, and, luckily, since it wasn't packed ultra-well; but adequate, arrived unscathed and in better condition than the photos revealed(cosmetically-speaking). In fact, it looks great, so it was apparently well taken care of. Everything's functioning(thank...

Got an older Otari MX55 recently at a bargain Everything is working properly except the FWD and REV is sluggish. Depending on which reel has the most tape, either function has to be repeatedly restarted; only shuttling for a few seconds, before stopping. Play is fine; spooling the tape...

I bought one of these on eBay yesterday morn to have another option in recording, and to save tape costs when fleshing out ideas before going to the bigger Otari 1/2" 4 track . I'd also thought of recording tracks on it and bouncing over to the Otari if and when needed . What are the physical...

Ok, it does pay to research before you buy . I have a Tascam 320B on the way that I'm pleased to be getting, and, for the time being will work just fine with my Otari 1/2" 4-track. I also have a Tascam 38 that I might want to use occasionally . But,, I do plan, at some point, to move up to 1"...

I have one of these, en route; via eBay due next week, sometime, and am wondering if anyone is familiar with them ? It's my first decent mixer that I'll be using with an Otari MTR-10 1/2" 4trk machine and mixing down to an older Otari MX55 2track. As I am anticipating setting up the room I'm...

I'm interested in picking up an analog 2" 16 track machine for a personal home studio(yeah, maybe a bit extreme) and I'm wondering : How much do the various models weigh ? I think I read on the net recently that the Ampex MM1100 was 1200 lbs. :eek: That can't be correct ? I'm looking into...
