Hello,

I recently came upon some very, very "clean" and "low use" gear, judging based on close visual inspection and talking with the sellers. This is from the same local people I got another "mint" 244. Anyway, the "other gear" is from their audio engineer son who had left all this gear when he left home 3 years ago and opened his own "digital" studio. Apparently all of this gear was bought new and he is the original owner but I still have to double check. Anyway, here are the items to be sold together:

STUDER A-67 (2 track)
TEAC 80-8
TASCAM MM-20 mixer
TASCAM EX-20 (2 units)
Noise reduction units (forgot their names sorry)
Manuals
Custom built cabinets with XLR's etc
Custom built Studer trolley

Again, all of these were taken care of unbelievably well and stood
covered when not in use. Extremely clean.

His "firm" price for ALL of the above is 600 CND (or $475 USD).

What do you guys think ?

Thanks!

Daniel

Super deal! If everything is working in good condition it's a steal. Can he give you a good gestimate of how much the reel machines were used?

The MM and EX modules are pretty cool. Does the MM-20 come with the meter bridge? I used to use those modules plus the PE-20 equalizer many moons ago with my first portastudio, TEAC 144. I liked having all the patching options right on top -- couldn't be easier.

Thanks Beck and I wish it was all so well ...... but it isn't

I inspected the decks once more, and in more detail, and can't say they were maintained all as good as I initially thought ..... Will pass on this deal .....

Anyway, thanks for your reply!
