Scully 280B two-track 1/4" mixdown/mastering reel-to-reel

This listing is for a vintage Scully 280B reel‑to‑reel two‑track console, housed in its original Russ Lang kiosk with wheels. It still has its original electronics and has been powered on and tested. The machine plays back, the transport is strong, and the VU meters respond, but it will need service to restore full recording functionality. A number of original parts and documentation are included, making it a solid candidate for restoration.

• Condition Overview — Unit powers on and plays. Fast‑forward, rewind, and stop all work well. VU meters move during playback. Capstan motor runs strong.
• Recording Issue — Machine does not enter record mode when the record button is pressed. This is the primary issue preventing full functionality.
• Heads & Tape Path — Playback head is clean. Erase head works. Pinch roller shows wear. A new old‑stock record head has been installed.
• Included Parts — Includes the original Scully instruction manual binder and approx. 20 NOS parts, including two Raysistors (commonly replaced components that may resolve the record‑function issue).
• Cabinet — Mounted in its original Russ Lang kiosk with wheels attached.
• Service Needs — Will require an experienced tech to restore record functionality and perform calibration.
• Video Demo — A video of the machine running is available on Facebook Marketplace (search the listing title).
• Pickup — Local pickup only. This machine is heavy.
• Questions — Feel free to message with any questions.
