Looking for a Tascam AQ-65c Auto Locator, an ES-50 sync and ES-51 controller, and an ES-61 controller.

So if anyone has these items lying around and wants to sell them, please let me know. Thanks!
 
ES60 61 for sale

I have a New Old Stock Tascam ES60 61 combo for sale at the moment. Have no idea of a what a fair price is. I thought about using them but I am using protools and 1/2 track Otari 5050 and Revox B77 and switching those out for Tascam 30/4, 40/4 would be very unwise in terms of recording quality. Those things sure do a fine job on 38s along with things like like Nuendo.
 
Es-60/61

Hello and thanks for responding. I have since found what I was looking for and have a few setups that include a couple ES-50s/51s and an ES-60 with IF-60M. I don't really need, but could probably use the ES-61 controller. I assume they are the items currently on ebay and I will place an offer in a couple days. On a side note, there are a couple configurations where the above units are able to slave to ProTools (or Nuendo, Logic etc.) and the older Tascam 40-4, 32, 34, 34B, 38 can't be used as slaves. These syncronizers were made to work with the higher end machines like the 42, 42B, 44, 48, 52, 54, 58, 388, BR-20, MS-16, TSR, MSR, ATR and MTR series. They also work with some Sony, JVC and Panasonic VTRs for certain uses. The problem is that there were many types of Accessory 1 connectors used on the different tape machine models and even the ES-50 and ES-60 use different types of Accessory 1 connectors on their rear panels. The result is that many different types of cables were used, and they are now very hard to find. Most users have to make their own, and it's not a straightforward pin to pin cable build. There are some cable-makers that will make any type if given the right specs, though.
