Serviced Yamaha MT50 1990s - With Vintage Tape and OEM Power Supply

We have completed our standard maintenance on this Vintage Yamaha MT50 4-track cassette recorder. It was in very condition and did not need much work beside the standard items such as replacing the belts, oiling the capstan, and cleaning the input and output switches.

This 4-track model often gets overlooked. It’s like a TASCAM 414. It runs at double speed for higher fidelity. It has a separate cue (headphone) mix, per-channel EQ, and aux send and receives. It also has a zero stop feature for easily rewinding to the start of your song.

It also includes the original instruction manual, which has been annotated inside by it’s previous owner, but is still useful and actually interesting.

We have performed our standard maintenance on this unit:

• Clean and demagnetize tape heads

• Change belts

• Calibrate tape speed

• Oil capstan

• Clean all input and output jacks

• Clean scratchy knobs/faders

• Check for and fix bad solder joints

• Clean the inside and outside

We also do a thorough QA of all our units. This process includes hooking the unit up to a vintage Hammond drum machine, Nord organ, and various other gear. We then record music on all 4 channels, and test all the functionality that would be used when recording music. It only gets listed once it has been tested this way. If any issues are found, we fix the issues before listing. This ensures that the unit is functioning as it should without a doubt! 

Other notes:

• It comes with the OEM power supply and vintage type 1 blank tape

• Free USPS ground shipping. Will usually ship same day.
