A few years ago, I found this MX-5050 mkiii 8-track for about $50. It blew fuses, and I brought it to be serviced, which took a long time due to parts and other things. Anyway, I went to pick it up today, and it's all aligned, calibrated, and biased. I also had some mods to the electronics done, which I don't understand. It also had all the XLRs put right. I bought the Tascam 6100 at a flea market last year for $100, and it's like new.

Anyway, I'm planning on using it for drums and running into ProTools for editing and also for writing sessions so I don't have to turn on the computer. It's kind of cool to use the old technology and get off the screen for a bit!

What were the mods? The MX5050 series are good machines.
