"New" 424 mkII

[Villain S Deeds]

I see 424s all the time on ebay and would like to buy one one of these days, or perhaps even a 488. The discs for my 564 cost a hell of a lot more than tape, so I might just back a disc up onto a cassette four-track and re-use the disc.

That's exactly what I do!,..only most of the time, it's a DAT tape...for digital to digital transfer,....but, don't get me wrong,..I've transferred many MD DATA discs to TYPE 2 or METAL cassettes on my 424 mk2...and the quality of a first generation recording has still remained,...sometimes even BETTER sounding.
