Roger, you mean $500 for BOTH?
If yes, then that's a mega good deal, depending, of course, on true condition so make sure you check 'em out first. If it's local pickup (always best) then that's even better. Again, this sounds an awesome deal if in fact both recorders are in 'like new' condition and come with all these original accessories.
To give an idea, some months back, I came upon a local TASCAM 34 (not 34B - which is newer and has more features), low use, clean, with no hub adapters or reels, with only the manual. I paid $500 for it and thought it was a good deal. Paying a bit extra for actually looking the unit over in person and avoiding shipping, made it a no-brainer. I changed the pinch roller and belt but still this proved a great deal.
BTW, do you have any official word from RMGI why they decided to up their prices, especially on LPR35 and also some SM911?
