Now since I've got my Otari mx5050 running well, I have no more real need for this unit, for only $319!

It's in EXELLENT condition, costemically and electronically. I've used all 8 tracks, they all work great. The remote and screen all works perfectly, the pinch roller is in PERFECT condition, and the heads are in EXELLENT condition. I haven't owned this thing for all that long, and the owner before me said he had the belts replaced, which is always a plus!

I'm going to be throwing in a free 1/4" to rca 8 channel cable snake, the ORIGINAL FOSTEX takeup reel, and a reel of tape and it's box FOR FREE. ;)

FREE SHIPPING. This thing is pretty heavy too!! :p

Look me up on the good guys list. I should be on one of the new pages. And if you still don't feel quite comfotable buying it here, I'd be glad to set up an auction for you and give you a link to buy it now, I've got 100% positive feedback, but there would be a 5 buck charge, since ebay is getting so freaking expensive with there "ending fee".

fine print: There is a mini lever on the side of the unit that is broken off, but you can operate iw with a screwdriver. This really makes no difference, there's no real important reason to use it, it only adjusts the peak meter. I've never had any reason to use it at all. And even though I'm throwing in free tape, I wouldn't use it for any seriouse recording, be sure to use fresh tape for that. The reel is nice though, and you can use the tape to try it out. Oh, and if you don't want the cable snake, I'll take off 5 bucks.

Here's some pictures:

yeah that pic of the heads are pretty dishonest, it makes them look a little weird, they're in excellent shape, I just can't get a clear pic of them!! I tried like 20 times....

That's cool.

It looks like a nice machine! Maybe you should hang onto it!.........;)
 
A snake like that is worth about $35-$40, too.

yeah I know!! In fact, I REALLY want to hang on to it, but I REALLY need money by sunday! Maybe I should hang onto and just barrow a couple bucks from my friend.......
 
I'm not that familiar with this deck, I'm a relative newbie to reel-to-reel

I noticed there's no XLR inputs, how would you go about recording vocals and such? use an adapter?

I'm interested in this recorder otherwise.

You'd buy a mixer to run into it. That's why he's being generous and buying a snake. $299 shipped is grossly cheap.

well...considering he needed the money by yesterday, methinks this deal is now off the table. Thanks for the mixer info, I knew there was a way to record, I just didn't know how! heh



Antispatula....if this deal is still legit....msg me and we can go from there. If you decide to hold onto it, I can't really blame you
