Picked this up for ten bucks off eBay...

It's an old Telex four channel Mark IV cassette duplicator ex Australian Broadcasting Commission. It was a bit wonky to start with but once the heads had a good cleaning, pasting and demagging, and the amp trim pots adjusted it works a treat. It does both sides in one pass then automatically rewinds. It's fast. Click, buzz, whirr, clack - lots of old school mechanical noises.

It sure is solidly built when you get inside it.

Sweet. It does a better job in high speed than my Technics RS-TR515 double recorder deck does at normal speed.

Good score if you can use it.

The ABC cleared out masses of gear some years ago......R2R decks, duplicators, you name it and it was turning up in s/hand pro audio stores all over the place. I picked up my Yamaha Rev 5 this way.
