Hi everyone, I'm a long time lurk, first time poster. Previously, all my questions had been settled by other forum users asking questions but now I have one to solve that requires some experienced minds. I've been in the market for a tape deck for some time and I'm in contact with a fellow that restores them. He has two basically ready to go- a Tascam tsr-8 and a teac 80-8. I'm wondering what all your opinions would be on the matter? If they are both in good shape, running smoothly, which would you choose? I'm in need of something sturdy and reliable. The Tascam has a new motor and is running very smoothly with good heads, etc. The teac is also in great shape and had the added bonus of 3 heads so that I can monitor and also comes with a flight case. The Tascam is $800 and the teac $1000. Lay your wisdom on me!
