Hello, fellow homerecording.com users.
I'm a total newbie to the recording business and I have been looking for a reliable multitrack casette recorder (digital stuff I do not dig) suitable for recording raw garage rock/punk blues, kinda The White Stripes (first two albums and some singles) or The Stooges style. I found these two offers here in Poland (both items are in a nearly flawless condition):
1. AKAI Professional MG 614 for about 270$
2. TASCAM Ministudio Porta Two (the big one) on an auction starting from about 100$
So, the question is: do you have any experience with these machines? Are they reliable? Which one would you rather recommend (mind you, I'd rather buy that Porta two cause I don't have that much cash)?

Both machines are used and come from the 80's I believe. Anyway, I was wondering if this topic shouldn't be rather in the "analog only" forum... Could anybody move it, please?
