I'm going to post this in the for sale section, too, but I thought some of you might be more likely to see it here.

I thought I had a buyer back in August, but he is acting on behalf of a museum in Chicago and changes at the top apparently put all plans on hold for some months. Sooo... I'm again offering for sale an excellent Ampex AG-440B 1/4" 2-track half-track machine, 15/7.5 ips NAB machine with remote. Everything works fine and the heads have very low hours.

The two-track heads were recently optically aligned by JRF and then electronically aligned by me and then pretty much not used because I started using the machine as a mono machine (sorry, mono heads sold a while ago). John said there was no point talking about relapping because there is virtually no wear on the heads. A great sounding, robust machine.

I'm still asking $450 plus shipping for the entire unit, but I will consider offers for the remote, headstack, and electronics separately. It's here in my house, zip code is 65203. I think I posted pictures previously, I'll find them and repost them in a reply to this message.

Thanks!

I was wrong. I have only posted pictures on the 3M machines. I'll track down an Ampex image or two and post it (them) soon.

Thanks!

Here's a picture of the machine...

Thanks!

FYI, folks, I believe this deck is spoken for. Again. ;)

P.S. I'm trading it for a new Great River ME-1NV. Cool!
