I got an MS 16 a few months ago and it turns out the heads are pretty shot and the tape lifters are seized up. I just got a deal on an OTARI MTR90II so I am parting out my MS 16. All the parts I am selling are known to be working.
Here's a list of some of the more obvious parts with some asking prices. Let me know of any parts you may need even if they are not listed and I'll let you know if they are in good shape and available. It is the version in the big factory roll around stand. The DBX units are already gone. Machine is in NYC is anyone wants to check it out or pick up parts in person.
audio cards for each channel (16) - $65 each or 2 for $100. They are all fine.
Transport motors (supply side or take up side) - $75 each.
Capstan (with motor) - $50
Pinch Roller (actually pretty nice, rubber is still good. Probably replaced at some point)- $50
Tachometer/roller (like a pinch roller on supply side, I don't know the technical name of it, nice shape) - $50
VU meters (most have some cracks in the plastic cover, but some don't. I believe they are separate pieces so if your meter is broken, but the cover is OK, you can probably get away with getting a cracked one.) - Uncracked - $10, tiny crack - $5, large crack - $2.
Reel tables - $20 each
Hubs (still nice and tight) - $20 each
Also, the deal with the headstack is...
Record head is shot. The repro head has some life, one more relap left. The erase head has some life left, too. John French says you can get another year, maybe 2 out of the repro and erase heads, but a new record head is definitely needed. If anyone thinks they might want the headstack, I'm sure we can work something out. The headstack is currently at JRF and the repro head can be relapped if desired. If no one is interested, I am just going to have him send it back to me.
If there is naything else you need from this machine, just ask. Chances are I have it. Thanks.
