Fully Serviced Otari MTR-15 Playback Only 1/4" analog RTR tape machine | 1/2-track and 1/4-track heads!

For sale is a fully serviced Otari MTR-15 playback-only unit. This unit operates at 3.75 / 7.5 / 15ips speeds and is equipped with half-track and quarter-track playback heads. This is a versatile deck for those who own prerecorded tapes from the 60s and 70s as well as newer safety master copies. IMPORTANT NOTE - this unit is setup with direct output from the playback heads, so has no internal preamplifier circuitry. This is the perfect tape transport for your Doshi, King Cello, NextGen Audio (of which I'm a dealer) or other external tape preamplifier. Playback and fast winds are silky smooth and quiet as you'd expect with an MTR-15. Cosmetics - this machine shows some cosmetic wear from professional usage, but the upper panel and head block cover can be repainted to match the original factory finish or your color of choice for $500 by a professional painter. Heavy duty rack ears designed to exactly match the factory parts can be added for $150. Please contact me with additional questions or for more photos and a video of the machine in operation.
