Description

This unit is in excellent working condition. It was recently aligned and calibrated. Runs at 7 1/2 and 15 ips. This thing is awesome for mixing down to. It gives you that true analog warmth and punch. The heads are fairly new with at least 80% life. All the work was done by Bob Shuster of Shuster sound. I am including a role of rmg 1/4″ tape brand new.
