Tascam Digital Portastudio 788 - Excellent Condition WITH Brand New Power Supply. Portastudio is in excellent condition and already updated to firmware version 2.02. This would make an amazing centerpiece of a DAWless setup. Note: Unit has a slight mechanical hum when running, which is typical for these original internal hard drives from the early 2000s. Audio tracks record and play back perfectly clean.
