What can be said about this beast? A monster, for sure: Clunky responses, slightly mechanical servo controls, but smooth and somewhat "tightened" sliders and knobs. They respond, however, extremely well. The drum-counter gives away the age of the machine, but, as in my other reviews of older, classic decks, it is always a plus in this age of downloaded mp3 files and other digital sources, to SEE SOMETHING MOVING - the capstans, the spools, or the drum counter - accurate or not - very charming indeed.
With regular maintenance (demagnetising, cleaning tape heads, switch-cleaner etc.) this machine with serve you for a lifetime. The parts and controls are sturdy and robust, and the machine feels like it's got the build of a shire horse.
