I seriously considering taking the plunge on a non-working JH-110 (that seems to be my M.O. on most of the equip I buy as I'm okay with the soldering iron). It depends on head stack condition... but I wanted to get opinions as to whether it is an upgrade beyond my 80-8.
It is still 8 tracks and ideally I would have 16... however it is unusual that I would have 16 going at once so I figured I could still use 2 - 8 track decks to get what I want done without sacrificing some of the control I like.
What I'd like is opinions as to whether this is will sonically be an upgrade worth it (and the price of 1" tape)... and whether you think I may be in for a world of hurt trying to get it running! (I think it needs the molex connectors cleaned up).
Opinions please and thank you...
Edit - I spoke with the seller and it has "intermittent issues"... likely the connectors I think. It is the "A" version and has been sitting for 6 years...
