I Bleed Analog!
Recently, a customer of mine mentioned that the radio station chain he worked for needed someone to haul off a bunch of old computers etc. Turns out that included in these 'computers' was some really nice 2-track machines and an Otari 4-track. Listed below are the machines I have received (or am going to pick up next week)for FREE!
TASCAM 42B
Otari MX-5050 QXHD (1/4" 4-track)
(3) Studer-Revox A-77
(2) Studer-Revox PR99
Teac A-7030
Otari ARS1000CD
So far I have brought the Otari 4-track home; it shows promise but is going to take some serious work to get her going again. I also have the Tascam 42B at home - what a BEAUTIFUL machine! Took about 2 hours of cleaning and demagnetizing, but playback/recording are near 100%!
The old Revox units should prove an interesting challenge as well - this customer of mine supposedly has a complete set of test tapes(in unknown condition) as well as an oscilloscope; I still can't believe my luck!
