I used to work for a repair service.

Try emailing Graham, they are registered a Fostex repair service and specialists in Multi trackers particularly analogue equipment. He will certainly know of any particular issues with the R8 and may have some re-conditioned equipment

I have an R8, and although I don't use it much, I think it sounds good.

Mine's mint condition & ultra low usage, so I have no war stories about R8 maintenance. Sounds good, though.

Hi

Ive had one for over ten years,no problems at all.
I did lots of recording on it and it has never broken down.
Here is a link to some recordings all done on the R8 and then mastered on my computer.
