OK. I am now the proud owner of a Tascam 388, one of quite few in Norway, I would guess.
[brief pause to receive congratulations, ovations and envious stares]
I came upon it by chance, and bought it for NOK 1800 incl. shipping - I'll reveal to you that this sum equals 296 USD or 208 EUR at the time of writing. Even though the capstan belt needs replacing, and the whole surface of the unit is a bit grimey and dirty, I consider this a good deal (remember: This is Norway, everything is expensive).
I'll post now and then as I progress in cleaning up, replacing the capstan belt, and putting the 388 into use - expect next post some time over the weekend. For now, I'll just stop blabbering on about my lovely new machine, and give you a photo instead:
If all goes well, this is what I will use for recording. Period.
