These seem quite rare. Not heard of them before.

Not worth much in untested condition with knobs missing , and its a mono machine

I wouldn't give more than £15 for it. It's pretty useless these days, as it requires the tape to be wound 'oxide out' on the spools.

oh for sure... lol - it's an interesting one though. Never heard of the name before. Apparently it was the first domestic R2R.. ?!

Poor wee thing ....

Too antiquated and idiosyncratic to be of any use and not pristine enough for a museum ... guess it won't be going to the ball :(

lol.. indeed.

It does have a nice simplistic look to it. Almost a 'too simplistic look' and rather fictitious about it. Looks like a stage prop knocked up by the BBC for Doctor Who or something. It's a shame to be in such a state. I'm sure there is someone out there who could bring it back to life though.
