Our lead tech is thought of by many in our industry to be THE BEST of the best, and is one of only a VERY few remaining factory-authorized Otari service technicians. He painstakingly refurbished this unit (over a period of 50+ hours), all the way back to original factory/ showroom-quality condition and BETTER THAN original factory performance!! We have decided to not include the itemized list of services completed for this (and other machines that we have listed), because we have noticed that some other sellers have just been copying and pasting our service information to their listings, without actually completing MOST (if any) of the service work. If you are interested in this unit (or any other that we have listed) and would like to know EXACT service info, specs, or have ANY other questions about our extensive refurbishing process, please let us know and we will be happy to answer any questions!! **NOTE: We also have 3 ADDITIONAL beautiful, fully restored MX5050’s for sale at the moment (a MX5050 Bii2, a MX5050 Biii2 & a MX5050 MiniPro)…..Please see our other listings for more info. ****Included in this listing- Otari MX5050 B2HD (2-track or 4-track/ 2-channel Professional, Open-Reel Mastering Recorder) (2x) Otari KWOH009 - Original 10.5" NAB Hub Adapters. *You might notice that the hub adapters in the photos are not the stock Otari hubs….But we definitely DO HAVE the stock hub adapters….We just had those other ones on the machine when we were taking the photos, and forgot to switch them beforehand. (2x) Rolls of LPR35 Tape (1x) Extra 10.5" Metal Take-Up Reel Otari MX5050 B2HD Owner's Manual (PDF) Otari MX5050 B2HD Service Manual (PDF) Otari MX5050 B2HD Schematics (PDF) ALL of our decks are now COMPLETELY recapped (we change EVERY SINGLE electrolytic and tantalum capacitor, NOT just those on the power supply and amp sections) using only the finest audio-grade electrolytic and film capacitors! This service is now automatically figured into the prices of the machines. This allows us to feel comfortable in guaranteeing the performance of every unit that we ship! All units now include a 1-year parts and labor warranty AND lifetime tech support, at no extra cost to the customer! **NOTE: This warranty is completely SEPARATE from anything offered by eBay or any payment processing service. This is just another layer of protection that WE OFFER so that if anything goes wrong with your machine within the 1st year from date of sale (excluding drops, spills, or extreme user negligence), we will make it right. We will even cover the shipping back and forth for the repair work. **ANOTHER NOTE: We pride ourselves in treating our customers like family! We are easy going on the 1-year part of the warranty. There has honestly only been 1 customer who has needed to utilize this (out of the more than 50 machines that we’ve shipped since offering the warranty), and his was closer to 2 years after he bought the unit. We took care of it for him regardless!! Anyways, the point here is just that we ALWAYS go the extra mile for our customers!! Optional Modifications Offered: ***NOTE: We frequently get requests for modding the machines in a variety of different ways, and we can just about always accommodate! MOST of these mods are performance upgrades but we’ve also done a lot of custom cosmetic/ visual upgrades as well! Below a lot of the performance based mods are listed individually, but just a few examples of the cosmetic upgrades that we can do and have done in the past are: Custom woodwork and paneling, powder coating, various different electroplating processes, wide format UV curable flatbed printing, 3D printing, as well as any type of “system matching themed” concepts like McIntosh, Marantz, or really anything that our customers can envision! Photos and more information of past projects can be shared by request. Contact us directly with any ideas or requests for any cosmetic modifications, and we can discuss options, pricing, and timeframe estimates. As far as the common PERFORMANCE based mods are concerned, here is a list of the most common options with descriptions of each mod and pricing……. 1. 3-speed Mod: Stock MX-5050 units can run at EITHER 3 and 3/4 and 7 and 1/2 IPS…OR run at…..7 and 1/2 and 15 IPS, but more often that not, our customers request that we mod the Otaris, so that they can operate at all 3 speeds…… Cost: $150 2. Direct Out/ Internal Amp Bypass Mod: This is definitely the most significant and most sought-after mod that we routinely complete! Similar mods have been done…
