Condition: Powers on and meters light. Ran a tape through the drive system, but tape was over 40 years old so a complete test of all functions could not be completed. Bad tape prevented rewind test but rewind functions without the tape. Cosmetically clean for its age with normal signs of studio use. Please review all photos carefully. Sold as a complete package with the cables and extra reels shown.
This is a ready-to-use package for anyone looking to get into analog multitrack recording or expand an existing studio setup. The extra 10\" Ampex reels alone are useful and hard to find in quantity.
