Beautiful machine. Four preamplifiers featuring discrete transistors, three heads. I've removed, cleaned, and lubricated the typically-sticking bushing that raises and lowers the capstan roller. I've replaced the capstan belt. I've lubricated the compliance arm, the compliance switch, the capstan bearing, and the motors according to the service manual. It's very heavy, and I'll pack it well. Unfortunately, that means shipping costs are high.

electronic start/stop

auto shutoff

both speeds

audio quality

fast forward

reverse

VU meters, VU lights

counter


problems:

some nicks to veneer as shown

Replacement power cord
