Hey guys. I came across what seems to be a really nice deal. I saw a RadioStation ad that was auctioning off analog equipment. I got an Otari MX55-NM for $25.00.
The tech. there powered it up, did a test record, play, ff, rewind, and everything seemed to work just fine. He said the heads were pretty worn out. But I was like, hey 25 bucks, why the fu*k not.
So I have a few questions.
First, were do I find new tape at these dayz? I need 1/4 inch.
Also, how much does it cost for a tech to re-align it?
The tech at the station said that this deck really isn't for mastering, was he right about that? Is it good enough to track some vocals to and take advantage of its analog sound?
Thanks for reading, and sorry for the newbie questions.
