From the seller
Flawless machine, fully tech'd recently, zero issues, ready to use. Has the sync panels so you can do overdubs. Absolutely phenomenal sound. This one does 7.5 and 15. It's set to 15 right now and includes belts for 7.5. The only mod I am aware of is that it has small toggles on the front of each electronics package that covert operation into a half- track 2-channel deck if desired.
This one does not have the mic preamps - it is line-level unbalanced in and out, low Z out ( i believe its 32 ohms out). The 4 inputs are on the front, with mute switches (very handy). The outputs are on the rear. It pushes plenty of level.
I bought this thing with the best of intentions but its just too big for my tiny control room so i am going to stick with my 3340 for the time being.
I won't say too much about it, since if you are serious about buying a high-end machine like this, i am sure you know more than me.
Includes full tech data, schems, and reports going back to the 1970s.
This originally came from a luxury residential setup in NJ - NOT from a studio - so it saw very light use throughout its life.
Includes those custom cases, but can easily be rack-mounted if you prefer.
Obvs this is pickup only, Mansfield CT (i am between NYC and Boston) and you can record and playback to all four channels and confirm operation when you come do pickup. Was in light use here until very recently.
I realize this is a big purchase so i am happy to answer questions for serious buyers, if you leave a tel# in you msg i can call you. Please note - i am not a professional tech - i am an engineer/producer - so i am somewhat limited in what i can tell you.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.
