I saw that the other day. That is a lot better price than the $3500.00 some other person wanted for one. Still, $1299.00 is a lot more than the were going for a few years ago.
 
Yeah I think we're going to have a bubble in this gear as guys in their 30s revisit analog they grew up recording on.
 
Yeah, I started drooling over them when they started getting hot...five years ago, bought one for about $650, 3 years ago (pristine condition) put in a few hundred since than, refurbishing it. I'll actually be selling it soon, and moving on to a wider format, I won't have any problem recouping my costs. I think they must be at there peak. I love it though, it was a good entry into analog for me, and I've made some pretty cool sounding records using it...and had fun making them! Aaaand yes, I'm in my mid 30's, and grew up with a portastudio!
 
They also work sooo well with a DAW. Route everything into a patch bay, use the mixer for ins and outs, mic pre's, record the stuff you want on tape, dump it in to the computer, in seconds, play back through the mixer. It's everything you want in a low budget (not so low anymore) tape/computer hybrid setup. I think that may add to there popularity these days.
 
I love mine!!! Im actually in the midst of making a cutsom desk for it. I'll post pics when It's done....
 
Sweet, I almost did that, I came up with a bunch of designs(was going for the old school 60's console look). Than I bought a house, and ran out time. Someday I'll build a cool console desk. Love to see pics when it's done!
