Got the Fostex 80 now - hope it arrives in good condition (seller in Germany)!!! It went for only 158 €. Looking forward to having some real knobs clicking under my fingers ...

Thanks miroslav - that´s really nice of you!!

I used to have this Yamaha MT 100 Mk.2 ... they had an MT100 and got trashed for some shortcomings so they released a Mk2 in order to have something available at the Music messe in Frankfurt (was that 1992?) and the 120 was not finished yet. Boy was that fun! As long as six tracks was enough ...

I don´t really know but it might be just for the tape counter (if that´s what it´s called ... the four-digit number trying to help you find the right location on the tape)

OK! What I watch is Austrian and German ebay - sometimes shipping will be just as expensive when arriving from UK so maybe I ought to extend my hunting ground ... One Tascam half inch track jsut went for 252 Euros here but I do not want to buy expensive tape - there´s a Fostex 80 up next that...

Even if we tend to forget, ebay can be a dangerous place ... I got ripped off too once. Some guy in England selling an old tuner (Sony 88). I payed him but never got the device ... seems there´s not so much you can do.

I don´t think they happened very much in Europe. I´ve never seen one. Might have been a US only thing but I´m not sure.

I´d prefer Tascam but there were a lot of these Fostexes around before the computerbased thing set in. And AFAIK there was no Tascam with 8 tracks on 1/4" tape which is what I want. Thanks for wishing me good luck dodge and thanks to everyone else for making me laugh so much ... Yeah I figured...

That´s the basis of this new capitalism that we have had around ....

I really wnated this Fostex R-8 ... seller in Vienna so I could have just popped over and gotten it. But someone got it for just TWO Euros more than my max. bid! Life´s so unfair. But just wait ... I´m going to get one!

They just sold a Mk III on ebay and I watched it ... the guy got less than 500 (Euros) for his machine so think it over carefully!
