just received this machine in the mail. here's my review:this thing has more balls than I couldve imagined. It was set up.....mint....heads near perfect. I've seen such a clean old '70s machine with original heads. The housings of the heads are still shinny silver.
I did two track recordings...used with NOS early 1960s tape..maybe '50s low output tape......one guitar one bass. That's an 1/8" of tape per instrument......and at 15 ips! Unreal the largeness of the recording. The bass with that 1/8" of tape sounds huge...insanely fat and gigantic....and I'm recording a 1969 hollow-body fiddle bass into the machine using the '79 Teac model-5B preamp.
For the guitar I use a '70s homemade electric guitar right into a '60s bogen tube preamp into the '79 Model5. The outboart gear was a univox ec-80A echo chamber dated jan. 1977. Incredible tones here....the real deal. I can't wait to put a recording up to....give me a few days.... i'll have an mp3.
HOLY SHI#$%^#!!!
