    This 4 track recorder/reproducer with 8 inputs. Has been tested and confirmed to record and play on all 4 tracks. All lights work. All tape transport functions work. Rewind seems just a little sluggish with some tapes. Could be my old tapes, or possibly needs some cleaning/lube.
    Please watch video to see it working.
    Dolby C noise reduction system.
    Comes with attached power supply.
    No tapes are included.
    Because this is vintage electronics, all sales ar final. No returnes or partial refunds, unless item is not as described.
    I stopped using this when I switched to a FOSTEX R8 reel to reel 8 track. The transport controlls are almost exactly the same as the reel to reel. Very high end feeling.
